A blue corner notice has been issued against Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna, who is facing sexual abuse cases, said state Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday.

“A blue corner notice has already been issued. The Interpol will inform all countries and locate him,” said Parameshwara. The special investigation team (SIT) probing allegations of sexual abuse against Prajwal has camped near the Bengaluru and Mangaluru airports to detain the Hassan MP whenever he lands. A blue corner notice is a part of Interpol’s colour-coded notices that enable countries to share alerts and requests for information worldwide. They are international requests for cooperation or alerts allowing police in member countries to share critical crime-related information.

Meanwhile, the SIT on Sunday issued a helpline number (6360-938947) for women to report sexual crimes allegedly committed by the Hassan MP.

From being the sole JD(S) MP in the 2019 LS poll to being suspended from the party after being accused of rape, Prajwal’s rise and fall has been quick. Two days before Hassan went to the polls on April 26, pen drives and CDs containing explicit videos allegedly involving the MP changed the election narrative in Karnataka.
