Witness in rape case against Prajwal allegedly threatened, court orders probe

A witness in a rape case against former MP Prajwal Revanna has accused supporters of the accused of threatening her outside the court, prompting the court to order a probe. The Special Court of Sessions for criminal cases against current, former MPs and MLAs is investigating the alleged threats, reported by a social worker who helped the first victim come forward with a complaint against Prajwal.

The victim was a former househelp at the Revanna family's Holenarsipur residence. The witness alleged that after her previous testimony, supporters of the accused made threatening calls, warning her and her son. The identity of those responsible for the threats remains unknown, and the investigation will cover this aspect. Prajwal Revanna has recently been under scrutiny after Central Crime Branch (CCB) and Bengaluru City Police officials apprehended him at Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, allegedly found in possession of a mobile phone and a pen drive.
