Karnataka MP and Janata Dal (Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna, who left the country amid sexual harassment allegations against him, said he will appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 31.
In a video message, Prajwal Revanna said, "Don’t mistake me, on the 31st at 10 am, I will be in front of the SIT and I will cooperate. I trust the judiciary and these are false cases against me. I trust the law."
The 33-year-old Hassan MP is facing charges of sexually abusing women. He left the country on April 26 after videos of him sexually abusing multiple women emerged.
"I want to apologise to my family members, my Kumaranna [uncle HD Kumaraswamy], and the party workers for not providing proper information about my whereabouts abroad. On April 26, when the elections were over, there was no case against me. The SIT wasn't formed. Two or three days after I left, I saw these allegations against me on YouTube. I also wrote to the SIT via my lawyer asking for seven days' time," he said.
Prajwal Revanna further highlighted that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders spoke about his case publicly, saying, "This is a political conspiracy".
"I apologise as I went into depression and into isolation," he added.
