On Saturday, the court pronounced the verdict in one of the four rape cases registered against Prajwal, the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.

A Special Court in Bengaluru, designated to handle criminal cases involving former and sitting MPs and MLAs, convicted former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna in one rape case. The court sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment for the remainder of his life. This is the maximum punishment prescribed under Section 376(2) of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with aggravated forms of rape, particularly when committed by individuals in positions of authority or trust.

Prajwal’s father, Hardanahalli Devegowda Revanna (HD Revanna), is a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in Karnataka, representing the Holenarasipur constituency in Hassan district. The case against Prajwal was initiated following a complaint by a woman from K R Nagar in Mysuru.
