A witness in the rape trial of MP Prajwal Revanna reported receiving threats, prompting the court to direct a CID investigation.
The trial of MP Prajwal Revanna on rape charges saw a new development when a key witness alleged that they had been threatened in an attempt to influence their testimony. The witness approached the court, stating that the intimidation was aimed at deterring them from cooperating with the prosecution.
In response, the presiding judge ordered a probe by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to examine the alleged threats and identify any persons involved. The court emphasized the need to protect witnesses and ensure the integrity of the judicial process.
The CID investigation will be conducted alongside the ongoing trial, with findings to be reported back to the bench. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the nature of the threats or the identity of potential perpetrators at this stage.
