Siddaramaiah govt to give financial assistance to Prajwal Revanna's alleged sexual abuse victims

The state government will provide financial assistance to those allegedly sexually assaulted by JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, AICC general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala has said.

Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Surjewala said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced financial assistance to the rape victims who are in hundreds, since it is a unique case which has never happened in the past 75 years.

He accused the Centre of “helping Prajwal flee the country after polling on April 27.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were aware of his travel plan, but they have been blaming Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar,” he said.

The special investigation team probing the case has written to the CBI to get blue corner notice issued through Interpol for Prajwal which will help in tracking his movements abroad, but there has been no reply.

Even his diplomatic passport has not been withdrawn, he added.
