Karnataka JD(S) MLA H D Revanna on Sunday said his arrest in a kidnapping case– linked to sexual abuse allegations against his son Prajwal– was part of a political conspiracy. The Former Karnataka Minister and Holenarsipura MLA asserted that there had been no ‘black spot’ in his four-decade-long political career.

“It’s a political conspiracy going on against me. In my 40 years of political life, I have never seen anything like this…There is no black dot in my 40 years of political career. Will tell completely,” he said while leaving Bowring & Lady Curzon Hospital, where he was brought for medical examination following his arrest yesterday.

Revanna was arrested from his father and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s residence in Padmanabha Nagar on Saturday, minutes after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected by the Special Court for Elected Representatives, Bengaluru.

The case was registered against HD Revanna and his confidant Sathish Babanna in Mysuru on Thursday night for allegedly abducting a woman.

The case was registered on a complaint filed by the woman’s son, who also alleged that his mother was sexually abused by H D Revanna’s son and the BJP-JD(S) Hassan Lok Sabha seat candidate Prajwal Revanna.

Babanna has already been arrested in connection with the case.

The woman was allegedly abducted to prevent her from testifying against Prajwal Revanna, police sources said.

HD Revanna was charged under Section 364(a) (kidnapping for ransom, etc), 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine a person) and 34 (the acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

Meanwhile, a blue corner notice has been issued against Prajwal Revanna, said Karnataka Home Minister Parameshwara
