Rape-Accused Prajwal Revanna To Be Produced Before Court Today | 10 Points

Bengaluru: Suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, was arrested from Bengaluru's Kempegowda Airport shortly after he arrived from Germany in the wee hours of Friday. 

Revanna was arrested at the airport by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and was taken to the CID office for interrogation. The SIT team probing the sexual assault case camped out at the airport the entire night, waiting for Revanna's exit after immigration procedures. 

Prajwal, who is the NDA candidate from the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, had left the country in April as explicit video clips showing him allegedly sexually abusing multiple women started making the rounds in Karnataka.
