The SIT had taken Revanna into custody on June 19 regarding the third rape case, which centres on allegations made by a former Zilla Panchayat member. The incident allegedly occurred at Revanna's residence in Hassan Nagar during his tenure as a Lok Sabha member. Investigators conducted a mahajar, or inspection, at the residence on June 21, lasting approximately four hours.
Revanna's family has also been embroiled in legal proceedings related to the case. His father, former minister Revanna, was recently released on bail in connection with charges of kidnapping involving the same victim. Meanwhile, his mother, Bhavani Revanna, is under investigation by the SIT in connection with the case.
