Prajwal Revanna breaks down in Bengaluru court after conviction in domestic help rape case
Prajwal Revanna, the suspended Janata Dal (Secular) leader and ex-MP, broke down in court on Friday following his conviction in a rape and sexual abuse case. The quantum of punishment will be announced by Special Court Judge
The ex-MP appeared visibly shocked and was crying while leaving the courtroom after the verdict. The quantum of punishment will be announced by Special Court Judge Santosh Gajanan on Saturday.
The verdict comes only 14 months after the case was filed, highlighting an example of a quick trial in a high-profile sexual abuse case involving a politician.
The cases emerged after pen drives allegedly containing explicit videos involving Prajwal Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan before the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for April 26, 2024.
