May 01, 2024
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 1 : After Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna sought seven days to appear before the CID in connection with the "obscene video" case, Advocate Arun, who is representing him, said on Wednesday that there are various dimensions in the case that required a certain time to be addressed.
"Without touching on what the allegations are and what our counter-defence is, going by the FIR, it said that the last date of the incident is somewhere in the year 2022. There is also one thing that Prajwal Revanna has filed a civil suit where there is an injunction order. He has said that he needs 7 days to come and cooperate with the investigation. I feel accommodating seven days should not cause any serious difficulty to the investigation," he said.
"This case has various dimensions, and it required a certain time to address them. I could not talk about it right now as we are in a preliminary stage and it can affect my client," he added.
Prajwal Revanna's advocate further mentioned that there was a notice issued under Section 41A of the CrPC that was left at his (Prajwal Revanna) and his father's residence asking them to come and cooperate with the investigation
"Prajwal Revanna was asked to appear today, and his father has been asked to join the investigation on May 2. We felt that something needed to be discussed before going to CID. For that reason, we have asked for seven days," Advocate Arun said.
He also asserted that his client, Prajwal, has said that the videos are morphed. He has taken a very logical stand.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged obscene video case against Prajwal Revanna.
Earlier in the day, Prajwal Revanna made his first remarks after being booked by the Karnataka police.
In a post on X, Revanna said, "As I am not in Bangalore to attend the inquiry, I have communicated to CID, Bangalore, through my advocate. The truth will prevail soon."
