Prajwal free to say what he wants, but must face the law: DCM

Bengaluru, May 27: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today said the Hassan sex abuse accused Prajwal Revanna was free to say anything he wanted but must face the law of the land once he returned.

Speaking to reporters at the KPCC office here, he said, “Prajwal Revanna may say whatever he wanted, but eventually he will have to face the law once he lands.” He was replying to a query on Prajwal Revanna’s allegation in a video clip that the sex abuse case was a conspiracy of the Congress party.

“I don’t have much information on Prajwal Revanna’s video, but I learnt it from the media. No matter what he says, he doesn’t have a choice but to present himself before the SIT for investigation. The law will take its course in the case. Rahul Gandhi has spoken about Prajwal based on media reports, there is nothing wrong with it. Time will answer Prajwal’s allegation on Rahul Gandhi,” he said.

Asked about preparations for the Legislative elections, he said, “Our government is working for the graduates, teachers and the welfare of everyone in the state. I appeal all to support the Congress party in the upcoming election. We have instructed MLAs, ministers and party leaders to work hard to elect our candidates.”
