Bengaluru: The Special Court for People’s Representatives on Friday denied the anticipatory bail application of Bhavani Revanna, the mother of MP Prajwal Revanna, who is facing serious allegations of sexually abusing several women and wife of MLA H D Revanna.
Bhavani Revanna had filed for anticipatory bail on Wednesday in connection with a kidnapping case of her former maid in KR Nagar, Mysuru district.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is investigating the allegations of rape, sexual harassment, and kidnapping against Prajwal Revanna and HD Revanna, objected to Bhavani’s bail request. The SIT argued that Bhavani Revanna’s involvement in the housemaid’s kidnapping needs thorough investigation.
The SIT further contended that Bhavani and her family wield significant influence, posing a risk of evidence tampering and witness intimidation.
After hearing the arguments, the court rejected Bhavani Revanna’s plea for anticipatory bail. Following the arrest of Prajwal Revanna, who remains in custody until June 6, the SIT has summoned Bhavani to her Holenarasipura residence on Saturday for further questioning.
