Prajwal Revanna’s Younger Brother Suraj Revanna Accused of Sexually Assaulting Party Worker

Chethan K S (27) filed a complaint with the police, alleging that Suraj Revanna, the eldest son of Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna, sexually assaulted him at a farmhouse in Ghannikada in Holenarasipura Taluk on June 16. The police registered a case late on Saturday evening under IPC sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 506 (criminal intimidation) against Suraj Revanna based on the complaint. Suraj Revanna (37), the grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda and the nephew of Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, denied the charge and claimed that Chethan filed a false complaint to extort Rs 5 crore from him.

Suraj Revanna has not been arrested by the police. In response to this, a case of extortion was registered against Chethan based on a complaint by Suraj Revanna’s close aide Shivakumar. Shivakumar alleged that Chethan was attempting to extort money from Suraj Revanna by threatening to file a false sexual assault case against him.

It was claimed that Chethan initially demanded Rs 5 crore, which was later reduced to Rs 2 crore. Suraj Revanna’s elder brother, former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, is in police custody for allegedly sexually assaulting several women. Prajwal, who lost from Hassan Lok Sabha seat, was arrested on May 31 after returning from Germany, where he had been staying after rape and intimidation cases were registered against him.

Their parents, H D Revanna and Bhavani, are out on bail and have been accused of kidnapping and keeping an alleged victim of their son Prajwal’s sexual assaults. *(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed. )*
