BJP leader Prajwal Revanna embroiled in scandal: JD(S) considers suspension amid sexual harassment allegations

JD(S) leader and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna faces suspension pending a final decision following a core committee meeting on Tuesday. The move comes amidst allegations of sexual harassment against him, which he himself addressed publicly early on.

In June 2023, Revanna sought legal recourse, moving a Bengaluru civil court against 86 media outlets and three individuals to restrain the dissemination of what he labeled as "fake news" and "morphed photographs/videos." The court granted him an injunction on June 2, 2023, citing the threat posed by the dissemination of such content.

The core committee meeting on Tuesday marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding Prajwal Revanna. His impending suspension reflects the seriousness with which his party, JD(S), is addressing the allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Revanna's proactive legal action in 2023 highlights his efforts to combat what he perceives as false accusations and misinformation circulating in the media.

As the situation unfolds, the fate of Prajwal Revanna within the JD(S) remains uncertain pending the final decision after the core committee meeting. The outcome of this meeting will likely have far-reaching implications for Revanna's political career and the broader perception of his involvement in the controversy surrounding the alleged sexual harassment allegations and the subsequent legal actions he initiated.
