Karnataka high court grants anticipatory bail to Bhavani Revanna in kidnap case

Bengaluru: In the latest development in the kidnapping case linked to the sexual abuse allegations against Prajwal Revanna, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday granted anticipatory bail to former JD(S) MP Bhavani Revanna’s mother. While granting the bail, the court stated that Bhavani Revanna had already answered 85 questions, and it is unfair to say that she was not cooperating with the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

The SIT had sought her custody in connection with the kidnapping of a house-help in K R Nagar in Mysuru district, after she failed to attend questioning.

Justice Krishna S Dixit, while allowing Bhavani’s petition seeking anticipatory bail, urged that media trials be avoided and underlined the importance of not making unnecessary arrests of women, noting their central role in families.
