An Indian lawmaker from a key ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party, Prajwal Revanna, has been arrested in connection with allegations of sexual abuse. A month earlier, he had fled to Germany following the accusations. Revanna, a member of parliament from Hassan, Karnataka, and part of an influential political family, returned to India early on Friday and was taken into custody.
Accused of abusing several women based on videos that emerged just before voting in Hassan, Revanna denied the allegations as a “political conspiracy” but left the country after the elections. Now facing charges of sexual harassment and assault, he has returned to challenge the claims. The scandal has been a prominent issue in the Karnataka election campaign, with the BJP distancing itself from the controversy.
The case highlights the intersection of politics and personal integrity, underscoring the need for transparency and accountability in public office.”
