Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna received a life sentence after being convicted in a rape and sexual abuse case. The verdict has led to political friction, with the Congress criticizing JD(S) and BJP for their silence. Revanna denied wrongdoing and appealed for leniency in court.

In a significant legal proceeding, former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Special Court after his conviction in a sexual abuse and rape case. The court found Revanna guilty of several charges under the IPC and IT Act, imposing hefty fines as well.

The case, which has sparked political controversy, saw the ruling Congress party criticizing JD(S) and BJP for their silence on the matter, while BJP leaders urged respect for the court's decision. Revanna, who broke down in court, maintained his innocence and appealed for leniency.

With explicit videos reportedly circulating before the Lok Sabha polls, the SIT had a challenging task that resulted in Revanna's conviction based on substantial evidence. The case underscores the complexities of political and judicial systems in India.
