A special court in Bengaluru has discharged JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna from a sexual harassment case. The court cited an unexplained delay of over four years in lodging the complaint as the primary reason, stating neither the complainant nor the prosecution provided sufficient justification to condone the delay. The judge questioned the complainant's alleged fear of Revanna's political power, noting she had previously filed a complaint against him regarding a demolished house. The case was linked to multiple allegations against his son, Prajwal Revanna.
