Revanna gets bail in kidnap case; likely to be released from prison on May 14

H.D. Revanna, former Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) MLA, who was arrested in connection with an alleged abduction case on May 4 by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing alleged multiple instances of sex abuse by his son and “absconding” Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, was granted bail on Monday. He will likely be released on May 14.

Mr. Revanna has been accused of abducting a rape victim of his son Mr. Prajwal allegedly to prevent her from testifying against him. 

The Special Court for Elected Representatives, Bengaluru, that had turned down his anticipatory bail plea in the case leading to his arrest on May 4, granted him bail on Monday. Mr. Revanna was remanded into seven days judicial custody on May 8, and since then, has been lodged in the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison Complex.
