Passport impound request for Prajwal delayed: Jaishankar

S Jaishankar

In a significant revelation External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has disclosed that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) received a request only on May 21 to impound the passport of Janata Dal Secular MP Prajwal Revanna, who fled to Germany last month amid allegations of sexual assault.


Revanna is facing a probe by a Special Investigative Team (SIT) constituted by the Karnataka government over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in his household.


In an exclusive interview with ANI, Jaishankar clarified the procedural aspects, saying, “To impound a passport is governed by an act called the Passport Act. We need a judicial court or a police request to do so. The MEA got this request from Karnataka only on May 21.”


It is family matter: Shivakumar 

After former PM HD Deve Gowda warned his grandson Prajwal Revanna to return to India from abroad and face the law in the obscene video case, Karnataka DCM DK Shivakumar said that it is a “family matter” of the Gowdas and he will not be “intervening” into it. Responding to a reporter, Shivakumar said, “I am sorry it is a family matter. I don’t want to intervene.”
