A special court in Karnataka has sentenced Prajwal Revanna, a former Lok Sabha MP, to life imprisonment in a high-profile rape case. The verdict was delivered only 14 months after the case emerged, underscoring the swift action and efficiency of the judicial system.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) responsible for the case praised the victim's resilience, considering the political and social power held by Revanna's family. Despite delays and defense tactics, the SIT achieved justice for the victim, who set a formidable example by standing up to her attacker.
This case has drawn significant attention due to Revanna's political affiliations and familial ties, including being the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.
