Karnataka: Another case of homosexuality registered against JD(S) MLC Sooraj Revanna According to a PTI report, a second case was registered against JD(S) MLC Sooraj Revanna at Holenarasipura police station in Hassan district on Tuesday. The case was registered based on a complaint by a close aide of Sooraj Revanna. “The process of registering a second FIR against Sooraj Revanna is underway,” a senior police official in Hassan told PTI. Notably, the complainant had earlier supported Revanna and also filed a complaint on his behalf against a JD(S) worker who had accused the MLC of indulging in unnatural sex. The first case against Sooraj was registered on Saturday night. He was arrested the next day and sent to 14 days of judicial custody. On Monday, the court sent him to eight days of police custody.
The complainant had accused the MLC of sexually assaulting her at his farmhouse in Ghannikada on June 16. Sooraj Revanna, the eldest son of Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna and grandson of former prime minister H D Devegowda, had categorically denied the earlier allegation against him. He had also alleged that the JD(S) worker had lodged a “false complaint” to extort Rs 5 crore from him. The MLC is the elder brother of former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is in police custody for allegedly sexually assaulting and videotaping several women in Hassan. Sooraj and Prajwal’s parents Revanna and Bhavani are out on bail for kidnapping a woman who allegedly appeared in one of the explicit videos showing Prajwal sexually assaulting several women. Prajwal contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an NDA candidate as his party JD(S) allied with the BJP in September last year.
