In a significant development, the Supreme Court has heeded the Karnataka Special Investigation Team’s plea challenging the Karnataka High Court’s decision to grant anticipatory bail to Bhavani Revanna. The case revolves around allegations of her involvement in a kidnapping incident.
The Division Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan has issued a notice to Bhavani Revanna, responding to the petition filed against her. The Karnataka High Court had previously granted her anticipatory bail on June 18, 2024. The charges stem from an FIR naming Bhavani Revanna, her husband H.D. Revanna, and another individual.
The allegations suggest that Bhavani Revanna’s son, Prajwal Revanna, a suspended Janata Dal (Secular) leader, faces accusations of sexual offenses against multiple women. Further claims indicate that individuals purportedly linked to these incidents forcibly took a woman, allegedly a victim, to an undisclosed location, raising concerns for her safety and demanding legal intervention.
This judicial move marks a pivotal step in a legal saga intertwined with high-profile personalities and serious allegations, underscoring ongoing scrutiny and legal complexities.
