Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda's grandson and suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna's driver, who leaked the alleged tapes of Revanna sexually harassing and abusing women, has gone missing.
Meanwhile, the political slugfest continues over Revanna, with Congress demanding an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for campaigning for Revanna in the Lok Sabha elections.
Prajwal Revanna, the sitting MP and NDA candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, who had sought time to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT), is expected to arrive in Bengaluru at midnight on May 15.

In another development, the former driver of accused Prajwal Revanna, who had confessed that he had given the pen drive with the videos of the JD(S) leader sexually abusing women to BJP leader Devaraje Gowda, has disappeared following a SIT notice.
The driver, Karthik, had worked with Prajwal Revanna for 13 years and fell out with him a year ago over an alleged land deal.
Ex-CM HD Kumaraswamy suggested that powerful leaders, possibly Deputy CM Shivakumar, were involved in the driver's disappearance and questioned who sent him to Malaysia.
Talking to the media, Dy CM Shivakumar asked, “Is brother saying so? That means he knows everything. Let him get the information from the central government. I am not crazy to send him (Karthik) abroad. I am a street fighter. There is no necessity for me to carry out politics by hiding people. They (the Deve Gowda family) need it.
“That boy (Karthik) had claimed that he had given the pen drive containing obscene videos of Prajwal Revanna to BJP leaders. Let the discussion on the release of the pen drive take place later. Let's not divert from the real issue.”
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to cancel Prajwal Revanna's diplomatic passport.
