Bengaluru : Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Saturday alleges that JD(S) MLA HD Revanna was a habitual offender and that he had been involved in a case like his son Prajwal Revanna 30 years ago when he visited England.
Karnataka Dy CM Shivakumar alleged that HD Revanna was kicked out of the hotel room during an England visit.

"That's what I heard, someone kicked HD Revanna out of the hotel. HD Revanna argued with the hotel owner that he was the son of the Prime Minister, but they had removed the luggage from the hotel and vacated him from the hotel. Someone called me and told me this. Once reached from the campaign, I will collect more information about the same," Shivakumar said.

This comes after former Mandya MP and BJP leader, LR Shivarame Gowda alleged that HD Revanna had been involved with such cases earlier too just like his son Prajwal Revanna, involved in an incident during their England visit.

Meanwhile, HD Revanna has been booked on charge of kidnapping in connection with the 'obscene video' case. The action was taken based on a complaint lodged by the son of a woman who was allegedly "abducted and sexually abused."
In his complaint filed to KR Nagar police in Mysuru, the man said his mother worked as a housemaid at HD Revanna's home for six years before returning to her village, where she worked as a daily wage labourer.

The man later discovered a video allegedly depicting sexual abuse of his mother by incumbent MP and Hassan Lok Sabha candidate Prajwal Revanna. He said that soon after the video was revealed, his mother went missing.He then filed a kidnapping complaint against HD Revanna and Babanna on Thursday night.
The Holenarsipura MLA and his associate were booked under Sections 364A (kidnapping for ransom), 365 (kidnapping with intent to cause harm), and 34 (common intention) of the IPC. The FIR, registered by KR Nagar police, also lists HD Revanna as accused number one and another man, identified as Babanna, as accused number two.

The FIR was registered hours before the anticipatory bail plea of HD Revanna came up for hearing in the Special Court for People's Representatives in Bengaluru on Friday. He skipped the summons to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 2 for questioning.
HD Revanna and his son, Prajwal Revanna, who is the sitting MP and candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, are facing a probe by a Special Investigative Team (SIT), constituted by the Karnataka government, over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in their household.

Revanna was booked in an alleged sexual harassment case on April 28 based on a complaint lodged with Holenarasipura Town police. The case was registered under sections 354A, 354D, 506, and 509 of the IPC on charges of sexual harassment, intimidation, and outraging the dignity of a woman. As per the complaint, the victim claimed that Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna, had sexually assaulted her.

Shivakumar also addressed the rumours of internal conflict within the Vokkaliga community's leadership, attributing these rumours to external political influences.
He dismissed the notion of a leadership struggle, stating, " The rumour that a fight is going on for Vokkaliga leadership in the state is created by BJP. I don't want any leadership. Congress has elected me as a leader (KPCC President). I don't even mention that I am a Vokkaliga leader. I was born as a Vokkaliga, so I should respect, protect and help the Vokkaliga society and I will do my best to do so. This is my duty."

In response to reports suggesting 12 JD(S) MLAs might join Congress, Shivakumar called these claims unfounded.
"This is all lies, no one is in touch with me. I haven't talked to anyone, it's all speculation. Who all are creating this fake news," Shivakumar said.
Earlier in the day, amid the investigation into the alleged 'obscene video' case, Karnataka Home Minister Gangadharaiah Parameshwara said that a second lookout notice has been issued against both JD(S) MLA HD Revanna and his son, Prajwal Revanna.
"We have issued lookout notices against both HD Revanna and Prajwal Revanna. We had issued a lookout notice to HD Revanna as he may plan to go abroad. But the second notice was given yesterday. They have time until this evening to reply to the notices..." Karnataka Home Minister said.
