JD(S) likely to expel MP Prajwal Revanna, at centre of sex scandal: Sources

The Janata Dal (Secular) is likely to expel party MP Prajwal Revanna, who has been accused of sexually assaulting several women, sources told India Today TV. The decision, sources said, is most likely to be taken in a JD(S) core committee meeting scheduled in Karnataka's Hubballi at 10 am tomorrow (April 30).

Prajwal Revanna is the BJP-JD(S) alliance's candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka which went to the polls in the second phase on April 26.

In recent days, several purported videos depicting Prajwal Revanna engaging in sexual abuse of hundreds of women have emerged and are being widely circulated on social media. The explicit videos went viral on social media just two days before the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka. The JD(S) MP is seeking a second term from the Hassan Lok Sabha seat.
