HD Deve Gowda's grandson MLC Suraj Revanna was released on bail just two days ago in the sexual assault case. He was arrested based on a complaint by a JD(S) worker who alleged that the MLC sexually assaulted him.

Revanna also alleged that the JD(S) worker has filed a false complaint against him in a bid to extort Rs 5 crore.

Suraj Revanna was arrested in Hassan earlier in the day on charges of “unnatural offences” against him, police sources said.

Based on the complaint, the Holenarasipura police registered a case against the JD(S) MLC under IPC sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
