A Bengaluru court, presided over by Magistrate KN Shivakumar, has ordered Karnataka MLC Dr. Suraj Revanna to 14 days of judicial custody following a special Sunday hearing at the magistrate’s residence in National Games Village, Koramangala.
Arrest and Charges
Suraj Revanna was arrested by Hassan police after interrogation at Hassan’s cyber station on Saturday evening. The arrest was made in connection with a sexual abuse case filed under Sections 377, 342, 506, and 34 of the IPC based on a complaint lodged by a youth.
Complaint and Allegations
The complainant accused Suraj Revanna of sexual intercourse at Gannigada Farm House in Channarayapatna taluk.
