MYSURU, 3 MAY 

Former minister HD Revanna and his son Prajwal Revanna face fresh troubles as a case has been lodged based on a youth's complaint alleging that his mother was abducted after a video of her being allegedly tied and raped by Prajwal emerged.

In the case lodged on Thursday night, the 20-year-old complainant from Krishnaraja Nagar town in Mysuru district said his mother was kidnapped by Revanna.

The youth said six years ago his mother worked at Revanna’s residence in Holenarasipura. Three years ago, she quit her job and returned to her hometown. About five days ago, Revanna’s confidant Sathish Babanna came to his house and said police may come to them for an inquiry and they should not reveal anything.

“On 29 April at 9pm, Babanna came to our house and said if your mother is caught then you will be in trouble and you may all go to jail. Revanna has asked me to take you. He then took her on a motorcycle,” the complainant said.

The youth said he had no clue where his mother had been taken away. However, on 1 May, he said he received a call from his friends who told him that a video has surfaced showing his mother was tied with a rope and Prajwal allegedly raped her. The complainant said there was a threat to his mother’s life and sought police help to find out where his mother was.

KR Nagar police under Mysuru Rural sub-division registered a case against Revanna and Babanna of kidnapping, wrongful confinement and connivance. —PTI
