The unique and bizarre ways the Special Investigation Team (SIT) nailed suspect Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, in a hit-and-run case involving the death of a woman.

Bengaluru, April 25, 2023 (News18) Additional General of Police (CID) BK Singh, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) chief probing the sensational hit-and-run case involving Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda, revealed intriguing and unique ways they pinned Revanna down.

Speaking exclusively to News18, Singh detailed how the SIT tackled the challenges in the case, including Revanna's arrogance.

"He thought he was above the law. He kept insisting that he was innocent and that he had nothing to do with the accident. We could sense his attitude changing over the five minutes of the interview. Later, he broke down and confessed," Singh recalled, highlighting the beginning of a long night of revelatory admissions.

Prajwal Revanna's family had claimed the BMW X1 that rammed into a woman in Bengaluru on February 21, 2023, was stolen. The woman, Bhuvana, a 28-year-old assistant manager with a private bank, died on the spot.

But the car was traced to Revanna, an undergraduate studying abroad and the son of Gowda's elder son and former minister H.D. Revanna.

The 20-year-old initially denied knowledge of the car when the SIT questioned him in March. But he later admitted to owning the vehicle and driving it on the day of the accident, according to the police.

On March 11, 2023, Prajwal Revanna appeared before a court in Bengaluru and admitted to his involvement in the hit-and-run case. He was produced before the court after his detention under judicial custody ended.

The young scion of the Gowda family has been in the eye of a political storm since the scandal broke. His arrest has put the Gowda family and its political clan, the Janata Dal (Secular), in a spot.

The police are continuing their investigations.
