Did you know?: Viewing Prajwal Revanna’s videos is a legal offence that can result in a 3-year sentence

Senior lawyer and legal expert C.H Hanumantharaya shared his opinion on the case involving the obscene videos supposedly featuring the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate from Hassan, Prajwal Revanna. In an interaction with NewsFirst he stated that there may not be many legal remedies available for Prajwal Revanna in this case. He however also put across the view that those involved in sharing and viewing the content are also at fault. “Those who distributed, those who procured and viewed the content, those who enjoyed it and further discussed the video are also liable to be punished. They can be charged with a 3-year sentence. This is deliberate. If someone has a pendrive but hasn’t viewed the content, he will be safe provided he’s able to prove so,” Hanumantharaya stated.

Hanumantharaya also threw light on the process followed in the investigation of such cases. “The investigative team cannot be limited to a specific angle. The process of investigation can throw light into aspects previously unknown.  It also depends on the efficiency of the people in the team. On many occasions, details remain unknown until an accused is arrested. The statement of the accused becomes crucial,” he added.
