Revanna, who was hoping for relief, was delivered a major setback as the court confirmed Prajwal Revanna guilty of rape in one of the four cases filed against him. The verdict relates specifically to a case lodged by a housemaid, which has been under legal scrutiny for months.

Prajwal Revanna Rape Case: Court Examined Technical Evidence

Before reaching its decision, the court sought detailed clarifications on several key pieces of evidence. This included questions regarding the admissibility of Google Maps data and the seizure of a Samsung mobile phone. Both items were considered critical in establishing the timeline and location details relevant to the incident.

The court had earlier postponed the verdict to allow both prosecution and defense to address these technical elements. After reviewing all submissions, the court concluded that the evidence substantiated the allegations.

Sentencing Phase Up Next

With the guilty verdict now delivered, the next stage will focus on sentencing. The court is expected to soon hear arguments from both sides regarding the quantum of punishment. Prosecution lawyers are likely to demand the maximum sentence, while Revanna’s legal team may request leniency.
This is the first ruling in the four cases filed against Revanna, and it signals serious legal consequences ahead for the former MP. The verdict has sent ripples through the political landscape, especially given his family’s influential standing in Karnataka politics.
More updates are awaited as the court proceeds to decide on the sentencing in the coming days.
