A special investigation team (SIT) probing the ‘obscene video’ case has conducted a search at the residence of Janata Dal (Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna in Hassan today 9May 4). This move comes following the issuance of a second look-out notice against Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna.

According to officials, the decision to issue the look-out notices was prompted by concerns that the individuals in question might attempt to leave the country. Home Minister Parameshwar, in a media briefing on Saturday, stated that there was a deadline until this evening for them to respond to the notice.

The 33-year-old Prajwal Revanna, who is the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, was the BJP-JD(S) alliance’s candidate from Hassan, which went to the polls on April 26.

Explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna had started making the rounds in Hassan in recent days, following which the state government constituted the SIT to probe the alleged sex scandal involving the MP.

Prajwal Revanna is said to have flown abroad on April 27, a day after the first phase of Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka held on April 26. His advocate had sought for seven days time for him to appear before SIT, to which the investigating team has replied it is not possible as there is no such provision.
