Prajwal is facing allegations of sexually assaulting women. The state government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case. Dozens of explicit video clips allegedly involving the 33-year-old MP have been circulating in Hassan in recent days.

He was the NDA candidate in the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency where elections were held on April 26. Based on a complaint by a cook against Revanna and Prajwal, the notice was served on them.

Prajwal is currently abroad and has sought seven days’ time to return to the country, while police have issued a lookout notice against him.
