In the sexual abuse case against JD(S) MLC Suraj Revanna, H.L. Shivakumar, who had filed a counter-blackmail complaint, is now absconding. Shivakumar accused a youth from Arakalgud of blackmailing Revanna with false allegations. Subsequently, the youth filed a sexual harassment complaint against Revanna and Shivakumar.
Suraj Revanna was arrested on June 22, and the case has been transferred to the CID. This incident follows similar allegations against Revanna’s brother, Prajwal Revanna.
