Rape convict and former Member of Parliament Prajwal Revanna has been caught using a smartphone inside Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru. A video emerged on Wednesday showing him talking on a phone while wearing casual clothes, contrary to the prescribed prison uniform. The Central Crime Branch (CCB) conducted a search at the prison on Tuesday and seized an Android mobile phone from Revanna's barrack.
The prison authorities found that Revanna was not wearing the prescribed prison clothes, which they described as another lapse. The CCB has lodged a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara Police Station and is registering an FIR against Revanna. Assistant Superintendent Iranna Rangapur has been suspended on charges of dereliction of duty, and a show-cause notice has been issued to the Superintendent of Bengaluru Central Prison.
The prison authorities will investigate how the phone reached Revanna and who facilitated its presence inside the prison.
