NEW DELHI: A case of sexual harassment and stalking has been registered against former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda’s son, H D Revanna, and his grandson, Prajwal Revanna, who currently serves as the MP from Hassan.
The case was filed at the Holenarasipur police station in the district based on a complaint lodged by their cook.
The complainant said she is a relative of Revanna’s wife Bhavani.
She alleged that four months after she started working, Revanna used to sexually harass her, and his son Prajwal used to make video calls to her daughter and have “vulgar conversations” with her.
She also alleged that there was a threat to her life as well as other members of her family.
This incident follows closely on the heels of the Karnataka government’s decision to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe an alleged sex scandal involving Prajwal Revanna.
The investigation was initiated following a letter from the chairperson of the women’s commission, Dr Nagalakshmi Chowdhary, urging the government to take action.
Prajwal Revanna, aged 33, contested as the NDA candidate in the recent Lok Sabha elections for the Hassan constituency, which went to polls on April 26.
Notably, the JD(S), to which Prajwal Revanna belongs, had allied with the NDA in September of the previous year.
