Prajwal Revanna Sex Video Case: Hundreds of people united and took part in a march, seeking justice for victims of alleged sexual abuse involving suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna. They also demand the arrest of the accused and a fair probe into the cases. The march under the banner 'Namma Nadige, Hassanada Kadega' (Our march towards Hassan), was organised by 'Naveddu Nilladiddare' (If we don't stand up), a human rights collective. It was joined by civil society groups from across the state, including women, labour, farmers and Dalits, and sexual minorities.

Besides demanding the arrest of Prajwal, participants stood firm in their demand for justice for the victims, expressing unwavering support and empathy. The protest march began at the Hemavathi statue near Maharaja Park and concluded by handing over a memorandum to Hassan Deputy Commissioner C Sathyabhama. They also strongly condemned the vested interests for exploiting the women in the videos for "political gains", and called on the government to ensure the survivors' privacy, and safety.

Prominent activists, including former MP Subhashini Ali, writer Roopa Hassan, and Vimala KS, were among those who participated in the march, amplifying the message of justice and solidarity.

The 33-year-old Prajwal, who is an NDA candidate from the Hassan Lok Sabha segment, is facing multiple charges of sexually abusing women. He reportedly left for Germany on April 27 and is still at large. A 'Blue Corner Notice' seeking information on his whereabouts has been issued against him. Last week, the Centre announced that the government is ready to cooperate in bringing Prajwal back to the country.

Criticising the state government, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi questioned why no case was filed against Prajwal and why he was not detained before leaving the country. He accused the Congress-led state government of trying to shift the blame onto the Centre and engaging in political manoeuvring.
