Former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna, who is an accused in the alleged sex assault case, will be asked to return to India by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), said Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara.
Parameshwara said an SIT probe would be complete soon, and a report would be submitted within 10 to 15 days in such cases.
"In this case, the directions for the time frame have been given to the investigation officers. If not for the time frame, the probe will be conducted for years," he added.
He said the investigation would be conducted, and action would be taken against all the accused mentioned by the victims in the complaint.
"Based on the complaint to the Karnataka State Commission for Women, the state government has formed the SIT led by senior IPS officer BK Singh. Two women Superintendents of Police are also part of the team," he added.
"The state government will not interfere in the probe; it is left to the probe agency to take it forward. The Investigating Officers will take the pen drives containing alleged sex videos, which will be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for verification. The evidence needed to be collected."
"According to official information, the main accused, Prajwal Revanna, had travelled to a foreign country. The SIT will call him back to India," Parameshwara said.
According to a PTI report, the SIT has expedited the probe, located five victims, and received information from them after bringing them to the SIT office.
