Bengaluru: A court here on Monday remanded former MP Prajwal Revanna, who was arrested on charges of rape and sexual abuse against several women, to 14 days judicial custody.
As his custody under the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is probing the cases, ended on Monday, he was produced before the court, which remanded him to judicial custody.
The 33-year-old grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda had failed in his bid to retain the Hassan parliamentary constituency in the recent polls.
The SIT has also sought the custody of Revanna in a fourth sexual harassment case registered against him. The court will hear arguments with regard to the body warrant sought by SIT on Tuesday.
The SIT officials arrested Revanna at Bengaluru airport on May 31 soon after he flew down from Germany.
Revanna was arrested in a case registered against him in Holenarasipura of Hassan district in which he was accused of sexually harassing a 47-year-old former maid. Three cases of sexual assault were also filed against him.
The sexual abuse cases came to light after pen-drives with explicit videos allegedly involving Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan, his Parliamentary constituency, ahead of Lok Sabha polls there on April 26.
