On Monday, Prajwal Revanna was remanded in judicial custody till July 8. But he was later sent to SIT custody till June 29 by the Magistrate court judge after the police sought a body warrant through the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP).

Four separate cases have been registered against the 33-year-old grandson of the former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, all of which are being investigated by the SIT.

Prajwal had failed in his bid to retain the Hassan constituency in the recently concluded LS polls.

The cases of sexual abuse came to light after pen-drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan, ahead of Lok Sabha polls there, on April 26.

JD(S) suspended him from the party following registration of cases against him.
