'4-5 years old': HD Revanna does not dispute authenticity of son Prajwal's obscene videos

JD(S) leader and Karnataka MLA HD Revanna accused the ruling Congress government in the state of hatching a 'conspiracy' against his son Prajwal Revanna by releasing obscene videos that are 'four to five years old.' He however did not question the authenticity of the clips that allegedly showed Prajwal 'sexually assaulting multiple women.'

"I know what kind of conspiracy is going on. I am not someone who will get scared and run away. They have released something that is 4-5 years old," HD Revanna said.

Revanna said his son was not aware of the case being filed against him when he went abroad. The Hassan MP seeking reelection from the constituency is reportedly in Germany, and the Congress has accused him of fleeing the country.

"Prajwal was anyway going abroad. He didn't know an FIR was going to be filed against him. For the last 40 years under Congress we have faced several investigations. Be it CoD or SIT... Action will be taken according to law," Revanna said.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the formation of a Special Investigative Team to probe the 'sex scandal' after a woman who worked at their house filed a complaint, saying she was sexually harassed by Prajwal and his father HD Revanna, an MLA representing Holenarasipur.

The woman told the police that she decided to come forward and name the father-son duo after watching videos of other victims narrating their ordeal. According to her, HD Revanna and Prajwal sexually assaulted women workers in their homes.
