Revanna alleges “conspiracy” behind sexual abuse charges against his son


JD(S) MLA and former Karnataka Minister H D Revanna on Sunday termed the allegations against his son and MLC Suraj Revanna of sexually abusing a male party worker as a “conspiracy” and said he has faith in God and the judiciary.

Not wanting to react to anything, he said when time comes he will tell everything.

Suraj Revanna — the brother of former MP Prajwal Revanna who is facing allegations of sexually abusing several women — was arrested in Hassan earlier in the day on charges of “unnatural offences” against him, police sources said.

He was booked on Saturday for allegedly sexually abusing a party worker a few days ago and under different sections of the IPC, including “unnatural offences.”

“I won’t react to anything. Let the (CID) do it (investigation). Who said don’t (investigate)? I won’t say anything on this. I have respect for the judiciary. I know what’s happening in the state,” Revanna said.

While speaking to reporters here, he said, “I won’t react to anything. I have faith in God and the judiciary. I won’t fear such conspiracies. I know what it is, time will decide.”

Asked as to who was conspiring, Revanna said, “I don’t know, you (media) will have to tell — who, what. I will leave it to you…will face it, judiciary is there. Suraj has gone (to police), everyone knows what all has happened in the last couple of days.”
