Bengaluru: A special court here rejected the bail plea of JD(S) MLC Suraj Revanna in a sodomy case on Tuesday. The court had earlier reserved its order.
The Special Public Prosecutor opposed granting bail to Suraj Revanna, who is the son of Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna and grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda. The prosecutor argued that the accused holds significant influence, and there is substantial evidence against him. Concerns were raised that granting bail could lead to the destruction of crucial evidence in the case.
In response, the defence lawyer contended that these accusations were politically motivated.
Suraj’s younger brother Prajwal Revanna, a former JD(S) MP, has also faced legal action, including arrest, for alleged offenses involving the sexual assault of multiple women and the creation of explicit videos.
