Sex abuse case will get new twist after interrogation of Prajwal: Cheluvarayaswamy

Prajwal Revanna Devaraje Gowda SIT Hassan Agriculture DK Shivakumar HD Kumaraswamy N Cheluvarayaswamy Sexual Abuse Bharatiya Janata Party

Agriculture Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy on Saturday said that the SIT probe into alleged multiple sexual abuse cases in Holenarasipur in Hassan district will take a new twist, only after the interrogation of Hassan MP and JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, who was allegedly involved in multiple cases.

However, Mr. Prajwal has been absconding since he cast his vote in the Lok Sabha elections on April 26 in Hassan, the Minister said. Mr. Cheluvarayaswamy said that the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy should advise his nephew, Mr. Prajwal, to face the SIT probe.

This comes a day after the BJP leader and advocate Devaraje Gowda, arrested for allegedly having a hand in the circulation of videos, suggested the involvement of Mr. Cheluvarayanswamy in the process, and also alleged that Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had offered ₹100 crore to him to level charges against Mr. Kumaraswamy of being involved in the distribution of pen drives containing explicit videos of sexual abuse.
