A Special Investigation Team has taken into custody HD Revanna, a legislator in Karnataka from Janata Dal (Secular), an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The arrest followed the court’s denial to give the accused interim bail in a case where he is said to have kidnapped a girl on April 29. The investigators traced the victim to a farm house in Mysuru district and brought her back to  Bengaluru.

HD Revanna is the father of Prajwal, a sitting member of the Parliament and the candidate for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Hassan in the ongoing election for the Lok Sabha.

Prajwal, who is also accused of rape and sexual harassment, has been absconding while the Karnataka state government is considering a move to ask the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to issue a blue corner notice to trace him down.

This is a developing story and will be updated with more details.
