Bengaluru: A Court has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna yesterday. The former MP is facing charges of rape and sexual harassment in multiple cases.

Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat of the Special Court for People’s Representatives here, dismissed the anticipatory bail application in the second sexual assault case registered against him.

Four separate cases have been registered against the 33-year-old son of Holenarasipur MLA H.D. Revanna, all of which are being investigated by the SIT.

The cases of sexual abuse came to light after pen-drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan, ahead of Lok Sabha polls there on Apr. 26.

JD(S) has suspended him from the party following the cases filed against him and Prajwal Revanna is currently lodged in Parappana Agrahara Jail here.

As the Special Court rejected his anticipatory bail application, it has become inevitable for the former MP to move the Hight Court.
