Will appear before SIT on May 31: Prajwal

Bengaluru: Exactly a month after he left the country, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is facing charges of sexually abusing several women, has said he will appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the cases against him, on May 31. Terming the cases against him as “false” and part of a “political conspiracy”, he said he had gone into depression.

“I will personally come before the SIT on Friday, May 31 at 10 am and cooperate with the investigation and also respond to it (charges). I have faith in the judiciary and I am confident that I will come out of false cases, through court,” Pajwal said in a video statement that is now widely being circulated. There was no independent confirmation from the JD(S) or the family of the suspended party MP immediately over the matter.

“Let the blessings of God, people and my family be on me. I will surely appear before SIT on May 31, Friday. After coming, I will try to put an end to all this. Keep faith in me,” he added in his video statement in Kannada.
