Prajwal Revanna & his brother Suraj to be lodged in different cells: CID

BENGALURU/HASSAN: In more trouble for the two sons of former Karnataka minister HD Revanna, fresh cases of sexual abuse and unnatural sex were registered against former MP Prajwal and JD(S) MLC Suraj, respectively, on Tuesday, police said.
While Prajwal, accused of raping multiple women and sexually harassing three women, was taken into police custody on Tuesday, his elder brother Suraj, arrested for sexually assaulting a man, was questioned for a few hours on Tuesday and may have to undergo potency test in the next two days.

In a twist, the second case was lodged by MLC's aide, saying he was sexually abused by the legislator three years ago. Incidentally, the aide had come to the rescue of the legislator by registering a case against the first complainant last week, accusing him of trying to extort Rs 3 crore from the MLC.
A senior police officer confirmed the second FIR is filed against Suraj at Holenarasipura Rural police station. The aide has allegedly claimed he was forced into filing an FIR against the first complainant and wasn't available to police officers for further inquiry in the case.
Prajwal & Suraj to be in different cells: CID
A CID source said an investigating officer questioned Suraj about allegations of sexually assaulting a male party worker at his Hassan farmhouse, but the probe agency is yet to get details about the outcome of the questioning.
To a TOI query, CID officers said Suraj and Prajwal Revanna would be lodged in different cells at the CID headquarters.
In the Prajwal case, sources said the special investigation team (SIT) registered a complaint against him from one of the victims under a fortnight ago under IPC for sexual harassment, assault with intent to disrobe, stalking, and criminal intimidation, besides violation of privacy under the Information Technology Act.
While sources were not ready to disclose whether the new complaint was filed by one of the three women who have already filed FIRs against the former MP, they said in the fourth case, the former MP, former Hassan MLA Preetham Gowda and two others were named as suspects. The fourth complaint was registered at the cybercrime police station of CID.
Prajwal, remanded in judicial custody after his arrest in three cases, was produced before 42nd additional chief metropolitan magistrate court in the afternoon. Special public prosecutor BN Jagadeesha sought CID custody for Prajwal for seven days, but the court remanded him in police custody till June 29.
Prajwal is accused no. 1 in the case, BJP's Kiran and Sharath no. 2 and no. 3, former MLA Preetham Gowda no. 4. Preetham said he was not aware of the case registered against him. "I'll not comment as I don't know about the case."
CID sources said they would shortly issue notice to Preetham and others. They had already raided the houses of Sharath, Kiran and few others in connection with the leaking of videos. It was alleged the explicit videos and photos of victims were transferred to multiple pen drivers and were distributed to public in Hassan district in April-May.
