Bengaluru: The judicial custody of arrested former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna was extended by 14 days by a Bengaluru court on Tuesday. He is facing charges of rape and sexual abuse against several women.

Karnataka Police’s SIT took him to Parappana Agrahara prison when the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court extended his judicial custody.
