Bengaluru: Bengaluru: Janata Dal (Secular) MLA and former Karnataka minister H D Revanna was arrested and taken into custody by Special Investigation Team (SIT) officials on Saturday evening hours after being denied anticipatory bail in a sex abuse case.
Revanna was nabbed from his father and ex-Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda’s house.
Revanna was booked in a kidnapping case on Thursday after a 20-year-old man filed a police complaint alleging that Revanna’s associate had abducted his mother, among many women who featured in the alleged sex tapes of his son and Hassan MP Prajwal.
