Former Minister H.D. Revanna has now been lodged in the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison complex, after he was remanded in judicial custody for seven days.
He had been arrested for allegedly abducting a sex abuse victim of his son Prajwal Revanna, MP, on May 4 and remanded in police custody for three days on Sunday.
He was produced before the XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Wednesday.
B. N. Jagadeesha, Special Public Prosecutor in the case, told The Hindu that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case did not ask for police custody of the accused further.
Judge Ravindrakumar B. Kattimani remanded him in judicial custody for seven days. Senior advocate C.V. Nagesh appeared for Mr. Revanna.
When asked by the judge whether he was troubled in police custody, Mr. Revanna reportedly said that he was interrogated multiple times despite being unwell, and on Tuesday was treated at Victoria Hospital.
He reportedly claimed that the case against him was a political conspiracy and he was not involved in it in any way. He reportedly became emotional in the court.
When the aim and purpose in life is clear, achieving success is possible, said Ashok K.V., Superintendent of Police, Tumakuru, at the inaugural session of the The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling 2024, which was held at SIT, Tumakuru, on Sunday. He added that students should decide what they want to be in the future at the college level and step firmly towards their goal.
