Life Imprisonment for Prajwal Revanna in Rape Case
Former MP Prajwal Revanna was on Saturday sentenced to life imprisonment by a Karnataka court for the rape of a family farmhouse employee. The incident occurred in 2021.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Revanna. He had pleaded not guilty and sought leniency, attributing his past actions to a misguided ambition for political success.
Revanna’s defence argued for a lighter sentence, highlighting his rapid ascent in politics. However, the court found the prosecution’s case compelling.
The verdict has sent shockwaves through Karnataka’s political landscape. The case underscores the need for stringent action against sexual offences, regardless of the perpetrator’s social standing. This judgment serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding the law and ensuring justice for victims.
