According to BBC News, the court in southern India has condemned the famous Civil Civilian for life imprisonment for the rape of one of his home workers.
Prajval Raanna's verdict from an influential political family of the state was made on Saturday, one day after being found guilty of sexual assault on the former employee.
The accusations against the former 34-year-old Indian MP were first published in 2023, when he had hundreds of open videos, which were outraged throughout the country. Rajan denied the allegations. After being found guilty, he asked for a milder punishment.
He can appeal the verdict. Rrajan is a grandson of former Prime Minister of India Diy Giday, whose Gianata Dal (secular) party is in the bloc with the ruling Bharatia Janata Party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India rarely happens that someone with such a powerful political past is punished in such a case. Rrajan left India in April 2024 with a diplomatic passport, after hundreds of videos of alleged violence be circulated in its state. Rravan did not comment on the videos at that time, but his office spokesman said that the video was developed. He was arrested a month after returning home from Germany. He was charged with two other and sexual harassment of rape. He denies all the accusations.
