Bengaluru: A special court here on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of ​​JD(S) MLC Suraj Revanna in the sodomy case.

The court had earlier reserved its decision.

The special public prosecutor had argued against granting bail to Suraj Revanna, who is the son of Holenarsipura MLA HD Revanna and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.

The SPP argued that the accused was powerful. There was strong evidence against the accused and granting him bail could lead to destruction of important evidence in the case.

However, the defense lawyer said that the allegations were politically motivated.

Sooraj's younger brother Prajwal Revanna, a former JD(S) MP, has also been arrested for allegedly sexually harassing several women and making explicit videos.
