A Bengaluru court has denied former MP Prajwal Revanna's bail in the Holenarasipur case, involving serious allegations. Despite his legal team's efforts, Justice Santosh Gajanana Bhatt of the 82nd Sessions Court ruled against bail, meaning Revanna remains in custody facing charges of sexual harassment and rape in four FIRs.
Bengaluru court has dismissed the bail application of former Member of Parliament, Prajwal Revanna, in the ongoing Holenarasipur case. The decision, reserved for today, was announced by Justice Santosh Gajanana Bhatt of the 82nd Sessions Court.
