Bangalore. Brother of Prajwal Revanna, accused of sexually assaulting several women, claims he is being blackmailed. Janata Dal-Secular leader Sooraj Revanna is the brother of Prajwal Revanna, who is facing allegations of sexual crime by several women. Now Sooraj has alleged that a man in Hassan, Karnataka has threatened to implicate him in a false case of sexual assault. Sooraj Revanna’s friend Shivkumar has filed a complaint against two people. Shivkumar alleged that Chetan and his brother-in-law contacted him and demanded Rs 5 crore.
Chetan and his brother-in-law threatened to file a sexual abuse case against Sooraj Revanna if their demands were not met. Shivkumar said Chetan had first approached him to help him find a job. Shivkumar gave him Sooraj Revanna’s number and asked him to contact Sooraj. But when he did not get a job, he started blackmailing Shivkumar and Sooraj, the complaint states. Soon after the case was filed, Chetan also appeared on a private channel and said that Sooraj had sexually abused him at a farm house.
Serious allegations against Prajwal Revanna
The incident comes days after former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna was sent to judicial custody. The 33-year-old grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda failed to retain his victory from the Hassan parliamentary seat in the recent elections. The sexual abuse cases came to light after pen-drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna were circulated in Hassan ahead of the Lok Sabha elections on April 26. The JD(S) suspended him from the party following the cases filed against him.

BJP distanced itself from Revanna incident
The BJP has distanced itself from Revanna and the investigation. Its state unit chief S Prakash said that “as a party we have nothing to do with the video and we have no comment to make.” A police case has also been filed against his father HD Revanna for allegedly kidnapping a woman who said the two men had raped her. HD Revanna, a former MLA and Public Works Department minister, was granted bail on May 14 in the kidnapping case and the subsequent sexual assault case.
