Police filed a rape case against JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna over a sex tape scandal. He faces charges of repeated rape, criminal intimidation, sexual exploitation and uploading nude videos. Revanna, grandson of ex-PM H.D. Deve Gowda, is the sole accused. Earlier, he and his father were accused of sexually harassing an employee. Multiple explicit videos claiming to show Revanna surfaced online, which he claims are morphed. After allegations arose, Revanna fled to Germany on April 26. Police issued a lookout notice as he missed questioning on Thursday. Instead, he sought anticipatory bail. The scandal sparked a political row, with Congress attacking PM Modi over his ally's alleged crimes amid Karnataka polls.
