Shivakumar, Suraj Revanna’s close aide, filed a complaint against the party worker, saying he and his relative tried to extort ₹5 crore from the JD(S) MLC. He said the duo threatened to file a false case of sexual assault on the politicians if he didn’t meet their demand.
Shivakumar claimed in the FIR that the complainant had lowered his demand from ₹5 crore to ₹2 crore.
Per Shivakumar’s complaint, accessed by HT, the JD(S) worker had met Suraj six months ago and again in June, seeking a job. The threat was made after the MLC said it wouldn’t be possible for him to help the man get a job at present “but it might be considered in the future”.
Suraj Revanna called the allegations part of a political conspiracy.
Suraj’s brother, Prajwal Revanna was arrested for sexually abusing several women.
