According to the First Information Report, Prajwal was named accused number 2 while his father HD Revanna accused number 1. HD Revanna has been released on bail in this case. But later, on the basis of the alleged statement of the same woman, rape charges were added against Prajwal Revanna.

The second case was registered by the CID on May 1, in which a 44-year-old woman accused Prajwal of repeatedly raping her at gunpoint.

The third case was registered by the SIT on May 3. The age of the victim is said to be 60 years. She has also accused Prajwal of rape.

A ‘Blue Corner Notice’ seeking information on his whereabouts had earlier been issued by Interpol, following a request by the (SIT) – – via the Central Bureau of Investigation.

On May 31, SIT officials arrested him soon after he landed at Bengaluru airport from Germany.

Mr Revanna failed to retain the Hassan parliamentary constituency in the recent Lok Sabha polls. The constituency had gone to the polls a day before he left for Germany.
