'KARNATAKA GOVT WANTED TO DO HD REVANNA'S CHARACTER ASSASSINATION': HD KUMARASWAMY

Bengaluru: Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy conducted a press conference on Tuesday and said the state government wanted the character assassination of HD Revanna.

Responding to the controversy surrounding suspended JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, HD Kumaraswamy said, "My statement is that such an incident shouldn't have happened in the country. Whoever is responsible, must be dealt with properly."

On alliance with the BJP in wake of 'obscene videos' case involving JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, HD Kumaraswamy said, "I can't say what decision BJP will take, it's up to them."

"I have taken stay order by the court to restrict media or anyone else from taking my name or that of HD Deve Gowda in this case," Former Karnataka CM said.

He said, "This govt does not want a fair inquiry. Nothing is going to happen ultimately. They wanted the character assassination of HD Revanna and for that reason, they are using their office...With all documentary evidence, we are going to submit a memorandum to the Governor to take action against this govt. The way this inquiry is going on, it seems this is not Special Investigation Team but Siddaramaiah/Shivakumar Investigation Team..."

HD Revanna Arrested BY SIT

JDS leader HD Revanna was on Saturday arrested in connection with the Karnataka sex tape scandal, involving his son, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna. After a medical check-up at Bowring Hospital, he was brought back to the CID office for further probe.

Revanna's arrest came shortly after his interim bail plea was rejected by a Karnataka court. He was taken into custody by the SIT officials, who questioned him at the CID office.

The SIT probed him regarding the FIR number 1 in the case where he is accused number 1 while his son Prajwal is accused number 2.

Prajwal Revanna Sex Scandal

Prajwal Revanna is the prime accused in the Hassan sex video scandal being investigated by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Karnataka government. He is believed to have escaped to Germany shortly after polling in the second phase of elections in the state got over on April 26, in which Prajwal was the JD(S)-BJP combine's candidate from Hassan.
