‘He shouldn’t test my patience’: HD Deve Gowda tells grandson Prajwal Revanna to return, face probe

Janata Dal (Secular) president and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda on Thursday issued a warning to his grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, asking him to return to India and face legal actions in connection with the sexual abuse allegations against him.

Revanna is believed to be in Germany, where he flew on the night of April 27 using his diplomatic passport. He was suspended from the Janata Dal (Secular) on April 30.

On April 28, Revanna and his father, former Karnataka minister HD Revanna, were booked by the Karnataka Police for sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. The first information report was based on a complaint by a woman who had worked in the Revanna household for three-and-a-half years.

So far, three women have filed complaints of sexual assault against Prajwal Revanna.

On Thursday, Gowda wrote on social media: “I have issued a warning to Prajwal Revanna to return immediately from wherever he is and subject himself to the legal process. He should not test my patience any further.”
