Bengaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sex video case alleged involving Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna has summoned the grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda to appear before it for investigation within 24 hours.
The probe agency has also issued a notice to his father and JD(S) MLA H D Revanna, newswire PTI reported.
The Karnataka government ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe a series of obscene videos circulating in Hassan district of Karnataka. These videos allegedly involve Prajwal Revanna of the Janata Dal (Secular) party, with some depicting acts of sexual assault.
Prajwal, who was the BJP-JD(S) joint candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, has fled the country after his constituency went to polling on April 26. The Janata Dal (secular), in a core committee meeting on Tuesday, suspended Prajwal from the party till the probe is completed.
On Tuesday, his former driver Kailash denied sharing a pen-drive containing purported videos with Congress party leaders. He said that he only shared it with the BJP leader Devaraje Gowda, not with any Congress leader.
Devaraje Gowda told me to hand over the photos and videos which he promised to hand over to the judge to help vacate the stay which Prajwal Revanna had brought to prevent him from releasing them. Trusting him, I gave him a copy,” the driver claimed.
However, Gowda has claimed that neither the JD(S) nor the BJP would release the videos.
