An arrest warrant was issued on Saturday against “absconding” MP for Hassan Prajwal Revanna in a rape case registered against him. He faces three such cases and this is the first such warrant issued against him.
This is said to be the first step towards seeking the cancellation of his passport, which will force him to return home. The Special Court for Elected Representatives issued the warrant on a plea on Saturday by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Accused of multiple instances of sexual abuse, Mr. Prajwal Revanna flew out of the country to Germany in the wee hours of April 27. A Blue Corner notice against him issued by Interpol to its 196-member countries seeking his current location has not got any response yet.
