Bengaluru: Suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, facing charges of sexually assaulting several women, on Wednesday filed a petition in a special court here seeking anticipatory bail in a rape case registered against him.

According to official sources, Prajwal has booked a return flight ticket from Munich to Bengaluru on May 30, and is expected to land in the city at midnight on May 31.

His lawyer filed an anticipatory bail plea in the special court for cases involving MPs/MLAs.

JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal is an accused in an alleged rape and sexual assault case involving a 47-year-old woman.

He reportedly left for Germany on April 27, a day after voting on Hassan Lok Sabha seat and is still absconding.

A special court for elected representatives has issued an arrest warrant against Prajwal Revanna on March 18 following an application filed by the SIT.

However, the SIT later arrested his father and JD(S) MLA HD Revanna, who were allegedly involved in the kidnapping of the woman.

All eyes are on Kempegowda International Airport where Prajwal is expected to arrive on May 31 and there is a possibility that the SIT will arrest him as soon as he lands.

Meanwhile, Prajwal's mother Bhavani Revanna has filed anticipatory bail in the special court for elected representatives fearing arrest in the kidnapping case involving her husband.

The SIT lodged an objection to granting him anticipatory bail and sought cancellation of the interim anticipatory bail issued to HD Revanna in the same case.

Bhavani Revanna's anticipatory bail order has been reserved for May 31.
