Former Karnataka Chief Minister and JD(S) leader HD 💦Kumaraswamy on Monday appealed to his nephew Prajwal Revanna to return🤡 to India in order to face the probe in sexual assault case.

🐼Kumaraswamy has reportedly urged Revanna to save his family's dignit𝓰y by appearing before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) over their investigation in the case.

Revanna, 33, is said to have left for Germany after several videos of women allegedly being sexually abused by him started making the rounds on social media platforms ahead of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Ka꧑rnataka, which took place on April 26.

Revanna, who faces an arres෴t warrant, wa♒s the JD(S)-BJP joint candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency.

"C🧸ome back to India. Save our family's dignity. Please𒁏 appear and cooperate with the SIT investigation. If you have not made any mistake, why fear?" Kumaraswamy has reportedly told Revanna in his appeal.

Reports stated Kumaraswamy used to meethis brother HD Revanna a♛nd his family only during special occasions and festivals.

Karnataka go🔯vernment has formed a SIT to probe the𝓰 case.

However, the BJP and JD(S)—have demanded that they should be handed over to ꦚthe CBI, and action against those behind the circulation of the expli🅷cit videos.

Kumaraswamy alleged the phones of his family members were ꦚbeing tapped by the government. Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar rejected the phone-tapping claims made by Kumaraswamy.

Revanna faces charges of rape, molestation, inﷺtimidation, blackmailing and threatening. A blue corner notice has been issued against him by Interpol to catch him.
