Mumbai, June 26: In a troubling development, another FIR has been lodged in the Prajwal Revanna sex scandal case, with allegations surfacing that the Hassan MP forced a woman into engaging in virtual sex multiple times. The complaint, filed by the woman, accuses Revanna of pressuring her for explicit video calls in exchange for securing admission for her son in school. The complaint, filed amid mounting public outcry and an ongoing SIT probe, accuses Revanna of exploiting his position for personal gain.

According to a News18 report, the woman, a homemaker seeking admission for her son, alleged in the FIR that former JDS MP Prajwal Revanna forced her into engaging in virtual sex multiple times between October 2019 and 2020. As per her complaint, Prajwal Revanna initially obtained her phone number during a meeting regarding her son's school admission. Subsequently, he allegedly initiated video calls where he pressured her to participate in virtual sexual acts under the guise of assisting with her son's admission. Prajwal Revanna Sexual Assault Case: Fourth FIR Registered Against Former JDS MP; Ex-BJP MLA Preetham Gowda Also Named.

As per the report, the woman in her complaint claimed that these incidents occurred around midnight on approximately eight to 10 occasions when Prajwal Revanna was in Hassan. The complainant further alleged that he threatened to release video recordings of these encounters if she did not comply, leading to charges of sexual harassment, stalking, criminal intimidation, and invasion of privacy being filed against him.

This latest complaint, filed about ten days after Revanna's arrest by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 31, adds to a series of accusations ranging from sexual assault to criminal intimidation. An SIT source informed News18 that this latest complaint strengthens the case against Revanna and may encourage more victims to step forward. The case has garnered additional complexity with implications beyond Revanna alone. Sexual Assault Case: JDS MLC Suraj Revanna, Brother of Prajwal Revanna, Arrested in Connection With Forceful Unnatural Sex With Party Worker.

The complainant also implicated former BJP MLA Preetham Gowda, Sharath, and Kiran for their roles in disseminating damaging images that affected her and her family's reputation. These images were part of a larger scandal involving over 2,920 video clips distributed via pen drives across Hassan and its constituency just days before the April 26 elections, where Revanna, then a candidate, was ultimately defeated. As investigations continue and more details surface, the cases against both Prajwal and his family highlight a troubling pattern of alleged abuse of power and misconduct within Karnataka's political landscape.
