A special court for elected representatives in Bengaluru Friday convicted Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former MP Prajwal Revanna in one of four rape cases registered against him in Hassan district. The sentencing, however, will be on August 2.
The trial had started on May 2 with the recording of the statement of the rape survivor, a former domestic worker at a farm house owned by the MP’s family.
Following the pronouncement of the verdict Prajwal Revanna was seen in tears as he was escorted out of the court hall.
