Former Minister H.D. Revanna, who got bail in the abduction case on May 13 late evening, was released from Parappana Agrahara Central Prison Complex on May 14 afternoon. He was welcomed by a host of JD(S) workers as he walked out of the prison. He went straight to his father and H.D. Deve Gowda’s house in Padmanabhanagar, where he is holed up along with his brother and JD(S) state president H.D. Kumaraswamy.
Mr. Revanna is accused of abducting a former domestic help at their house, who was allegedly raped by his son and “absconding” Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, to prevent her from testifying against him. Judge Santosh Gajanana Bhat granted bail to Mr. Revanna laying down six conditions, including two sureties, and a ₹5 lakh bond.
