A lookout notice has been issued against Janata Dal Secular MP Prajwal Revanna amid the political storm over the sexual harassment allegations against him. Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said Revanna has to appear before the Special Investigation Team probing the matter at the earliest. Earlier, the SIT had turned down his request for seven days' time to appear before the investigators.
Thirty-three-year-old Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, is at the centre of a huge row after a woman accused him and his father, HD Revanna, of sexually harassing her. The woman, who has told police that he worked as a cook at the Revannas' home, has also accused the JDS MP of harassing her daughter over video calls. A huge cache of explicit visuals, allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna, have circulated on the Internet.
Prajwal Revanna's lawyer Arun G had earlier said there are various dimensions in the case and that required time to be addressed. "He has said that he needs 7 days to come and cooperate with the investigation. I feel accommodating seven days should not cause any serious difficulty to the investigation," he said.
