Prajwal Revanna is facing charges of sexually assaulting his 47-year-old maid and later sending obscene videos to the victim's daughter and threatening that her daughter would also meet the same fate.

He was arrested at the Bengaluru International Airport in the early hours of May 30, when he was returning from Germany after his grandfather, H.D. Deve Gowda had and uncle H.D. Kumaraswamy, who is also Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, made a public appeal that he has to come and face authorities.
