has departed from the nation while facing an ongoing scandal and an investigation by the SIT.

elections in Karnataka in alliance with the JD(S) has distanced itself from Prajwal

amid the controversy surrounding his alleged sex tapes. Meanwhile, Congress made a serious accusation on Sunday, claiming that "a pen drive full of pornographic videos" has been revealed and obscene video clips are circulating in Hassan district. Congress party alleged that "MP and NDA candidate Prajwal Revanna sexually assaulted thousands of women and recorded objectionable videos of them".
An FIR has been filed against Prajwal Revanna and his father JD(S) leader HD Revanna, in connection with the sexual harassment case at the Holenarasipur police station based on a complaint by their former house help. The allegations have put Prajwal Revanna under intense scrutiny, as the investigation into the matter continues.
Who is Prajwal Revanna?

Prajwal Revanna, aged 33 is the first third-generation member from the Gowda clan. He is the son of Karnataka's ex-PWD minister HD Revanna, the nephew of HD Kumaraswamy. HD Revanna is the son of former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda.
