A Bengaluru special court on August 2, 2025 sentenced former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna to life imprisonment for raping a 47‑ or 48‑year‑old domestic worker at his family’s farmhouse, exploiting his position of authority . Courts convicted him under multiple IPC sections including repeated rape, sexual harassment, assault to disrobe, voyeurism, criminal intimidation, and IT Act violations for filming the assault—supported by DNA and video evidence . He was also fined ₹5–11 lakh, directed as compensation to the survivor . Revanna broke down in court saying his “only mistake was growing fast in politics”. (PC: Facebook)
