Trouble Mounts For Prajwal Revanna's Mother Bhavani As SIT Summons Her in Kidnapping Case

New Delhi: Trouble seems to be mounting for suspended JDS leader Prajwal Revanna's mother, Bhavani Revanna, as Special Investigation Team has summoned her for questioning. 

Bhavani Revanna, wife of MLA HD Revanna, has been summoned for questioning by the SIT in a case registered under sections 64(A), 365, 109, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. The SIT will question Bhavani on Saturday, June 1, and has asked her to be present at her house in Holenarasipur during the day. 

In a notice to Bhavani Revanna, the daughter-in-law of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, the SIT Inspector and Investigation Officer Hemanth Kumar M said there was a need to conduct an inquiry, reported by PTI. "Since there was a need to conduct an inquiry with you, you are hereby informed to be present at 'Chennambika Nilaya' (her house) at Holenarasipur in Hassan district on June 1 from 10 am to 5 pm," the SIT Inspector said on Thursday, as quoted by PTI. 

The SIT officer said that the investigation would be carried out in the presence of women police officers. 

The case in which Bhavani Revanna has been summoned pertains to kidnapping a woman from KR Nagar in which her husband and Holenarasipura JD(S) MLA H D Revanna is an accused and is out on bail. After the explicit videos showing women being sexually abused allegedly by their 33-year-old son Prajwal came out in open, the victim from KR Nagar in Mysuru was abducted by Revanna's confidant, said reports. 

The case was registered on a complaint lodged by the 20-year-old son of the victim. The complainant also said that his mother figured in the video where she was tied and raped allegedly by Prajwal. 

Bhavani and her son have already moved the Special court seeking anticipatory bail.
