Former MP Prajwal Revanna, grandson of ex-Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, has been found guilty in a shocking rape case that has shaken Karnataka and national politics. This case started with a pen drive full of disturbing videos and ended in a courtroom where justice was finally served.
In April 2024, a pen drive came to light. It had videos of Prajwal Revanna sexually abusing women. One of the victims was a helper at his farmhouse. The videos went viral, and people across the country were shocked. This forced the government to take action, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed.
During the investigation, many truths came out. It was revealed that Prajwal had been using his power to exploit women for years. The victims were scared to speak, but the SIT gathered strong proof — videos, statements, and digital evidence.
When the case got serious, Prajwal ran away from India. Police issued an international notice, and he was brought back in May 2025. The court found him guilty of rape, threats, and misuse of power.
But what hurt people the most was the silence of politicians. His party, Janata Dal (Secular), did not speak up strongly. Many leaders avoided questions. People are asking: Why is there silence when women suffer?
Now, the country waits for the punishment. Legal experts say this is a big moment for India. It shows that even powerful people can’t escape justice.
This case has raised serious questions about:
-
Women’s safety
-
Misuse of political power
-
Need for faster justice
This is not just a news story — it’s a wake-up call.
