Karnataka government formed SIT
The Karnataka government on Sunday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged sex scandal involving Janata Dal (Secular) president and former Prime Minister H.D. Devegowda’s grandson Prajwal Revanna. The move came after Karnataka State Women’s Commission chairperson Dr. Nagalakshmi Choudhary wrote a letter to the government. Revanna (33) is the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha seat, where polling will be held on April 26. The JDS joined the NDA in September last year.
The three-member SIT of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers will be headed by Additional Director General of Police (CID) Bijay Kumar Singh. The other two members are Assistant Inspector General of Police Suman D. Penekar and Mysuru Superintendent of Police Seema Latkar. The SIT has been directed to complete its investigation soon.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced the formation of the SIT. He said in a post on the social media platform ‘X’ late Saturday night, “The government has decided to form a special investigation team in the objectionable video case of Prajwal Revanna.”
Prajwal Revanna left the country
According to a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office, the police have information that Prajwal, son of MLA and former minister H.D. Revanna, has left the country. Dr. Chowdhary had written a letter to Siddaramaiah and state police chief Alok Mohan on Thursday, demanding an inquiry into the video being circulated in Hassan.
Home Minister G. Parameshwara told reporters, “In case he (Prajwal) has gone abroad, the SIT will be responsible for bringing him back and continuing the investigation. We will not tell the SIT how to conduct the investigation.”
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said, “…our heads hang in shame.” Shivakumar, who is also the state Congress chief, said, “I saw in the media that he has ‘fled’. This is an unpardonable crime. It is a matter of shame. He is an MP and the grandson of the former Prime Minister. He is an MP from the same seat represented by the former Prime Minister.”

Prajwal Revanna, through his election agent, filed a complaint with the authorities that the video has been tampered with and is being circulated to malign his image ahead of the elections. The JD(S) has also made the same claim while the BJP has distanced itself from the matter.
