Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, accused in a sex scandal, has announced he will return to India and appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 31. Revanna made this declaration in a video statement from an undisclosed location, expressing his intent to cooperate with the investigation. In the video, Revanna claimed that the charges against him are part of a political conspiracy orchestrated by his adversaries. He stated that he would fight these allegations legally and prove his innocence.
“I will personally, on Friday, May 31 at 10 am, come before the SIT and will cooperate with the investigation and will respond to it (charges). I have faith in court and I am confident I will come out of false cases through court,” Pajwal said.
“Let God’s, people’s and family’s blessing be on me. I will surely come before SIT on May 31, Friday. After coming, I will try to put an end to all this. Keep faith in me,” he added.
Without mentioning the videos even once, Prajwal claimed that there was a “political conspiracy” against him. “Some forces in Hassan have launched a political conspiracy against me and want to end my political career. I had to distance myself. There’s no need to be mistaken. I will come back on the 31st at 10am to meet with the SIT and give me full cooperation for the investigation. I believe in the law and the system. I will emerge stronger from all these false allegations against me.”
Prajwal Revanna faces multiple charges of sexual abuse. He reportedly fled to Germany on April 27, a day after voting in Hassan, and has been evading authorities since.
Interpol has issued a Blue Corner Notice seeking information on Revanna’s whereabouts, following a request from the SIT through the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Additionally, a special court for elected representatives issued an arrest warrant against him on May 18, based on an application from the SIT.
