Amid the ongoing investigation into the alleged obscene video case, the accused MP of Hassan Prajwal Revanna, in a self-made video released on Monday, said that he will appear before the Special Investigative Team (SIT) on May 31 for questioning.
This comes after Karnataka minister G Parameshwara took a dig at External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's statement that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) received a request only on May 21 to impound the passport of Prajwal Revanna.
Revanna is facing a probe by a Special Investigative Team (SIT) constituted by the Karnataka government over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in his household.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Jaishankar clarified the procedural aspects, saying, "To impound a passport is governed by an act called the Passport Act. We need a judicial court or a police request to do so. The MEA got this request from Karnataka only on May 21."
Responding to a reporter about the letter written by the Janata Dal Secular patron to the Hassan MP, Shivakumar said, "I am sorry it is a family matter. I don't want to intervene."
Siddaramaiah in his letter to the Prime Minister said that it is shameful that Prajwal Revanna fled the country on April 27, 2024, to Germany using his diplomatic passport shortly after news of his heinous actions emerged and just a few hours before the first FIR was filed against him.
