Hassan Sex Scandal: MEA Processing Karnataka Govt’s Request To Cancel Prajwal Revanna’s Diplomatic Passport

Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara said if the passport is cancelled, it will be impossible for Prajwal to stay anymore in the foreign country, and he will have to come back. “We have written to the Ministry of External Affairs as matters related to passports come under them, they will have to respond to it,” he added. A Special Court for Elected Representatives issued an arrest warrant on Saturday against Prajwal Revanna, following an application moved by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the state government to probe the serial sex abuse charges against the MP.

Earlier, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had on May 1 written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to move the MEA and Home Affairs to take swift action to cancel Prajwal’s diplomatic passport. A ‘Blue Corner Notice’ seeking information on Prajwal’s whereabouts has already been issued by Interpol, following a request by the SIT via the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Responding to a question on JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy requesting Prajwal Revanna, who is also his nephew, to return to India and face the probe, Parameshwara said, “I have seen it in the media, it is their family’s internal matter, let him (Prajwal) come and face the law.”
