Political Storm: Suraj Revanna Entangled in Extortion Controversy

A JD(S) worker and his kin have been accused of extortion against MLC Suraj Revanna by threatening to file a false sexual assault case. FIRs have been lodged on both sides, with allegations involving large sums of money and sexual misconduct.

A political drama unfolds as a JD(S) worker and his kin face accusations of attempting to extort money from party MLC Suraj Revanna. The incident emerged after Shivakumar, a close aide of Revanna, filed a complaint leading to an FIR against Chethan K S and his brother-in-law.

Amid these developments, Chethan retaliated by lodging his own complaint, accusing Suraj Revanna of sexual assault. Suraj Revanna, the son of Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna, and brother of the former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, already in police custody for alleged sexual misconduct, sees this controversy escalating.

The complaints reveal Chethan's association with the 'Suraj Revanna Brigade' and his subsequent demands for money, which when unmet, led to threats of false accusations. Police have charged Chethan and his brother-in-law under IPC sections related to extortion, intimidation, and conspiracy.
