Karnataka: SIT serves notice to Bhavani Revanna in kidnapping case; asks to be available on June 1

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 31 (ANI): Karnataka's Special Investigation Team (SIT) has given a notice to JD(S) suspended MP Prajwal Revanna's mother Bhavani Revanna in the kidnapping case.
The SIT has asked Bhavani to be available for investigation and questioning at her Holenarasipura house on June 1.
Earlier, Bhavani Revanna, mother of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is accused in the obscene video case, filed an anticipatory bail in the kidnapping case in which her husband was earlier arrested.
Bhavani had moved Karnataka High Court seeking relief from arrest by SIT.
Her husband, HD Revanna was arrested earlier in connection with a kidnapping case on April 29. He was granted conditional bail by a special court for people's representatives.
The case, registered on April 28 at the Holenarasipura town police station, involves allegations of sexual assault by Revanna and his son, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, against a house help.
Meanwhile, Prajwal Revanna, who was arrested in the obscene video case at the Bengaluru Airport soon after he landed is expected to be produced before the Magistrate in the Special Court of People's Representatives within 24 hours of arrest.
The anticipatory bail application filed by Revanna earlier is also expected to be considered void as the JD (S) suspended MP has already been arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
The SIT has also filed an application in the High Court questioning HD Revanna's bail in the kidnapping case of a woman from KR Nagar, Mysore. According to SIT, Revanna should continue to remain in custody until this investigation is over and therefore, the SIT has moved the High Court to cancel the bail.
The application will be heard in the High Court bench headed by Justice Krishna S Dixit. The hearing of the petition filed by Revanna to cancel this case will also be held today in the High Court.
Revanna is facing a probe by the SIT over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in his household. He returned to India from Berlin, Germany, nearly a month after leaving the country on a diplomatic passport and was immediately taken into custody. (ANI)
