A lookout notice was issued against incumbent JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Hassan sex scandal, sources said on Thursday.
The development has come after the father-son duo failed to appear before the SIT, which was constituted by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah-led Karnataka government to investigate the sexual abuse allegations against the Hassan MP.
The panel issued the notice after it had rejected Prajwal Revanna’s request to allow him 7 days to appear for an inquiry.

Reports suggest that since the circular was issued, Prajwal will likely be detained as soon in the sex scandal case as soon as he enters the country and reports at the immigration points.
Meanwhile, Revanna, who is facing an inquiry over the alleged sexual abuse of several women, has denied all allegations against him and said in a social media post that the truth will prevail soon.
The MP, who left the country as soon as the election to his constituency ended, has also sought seven days to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Karnataka government to inquire into the huge cache of about 3,000 explicit videos and photos allegedly about him, which have gone viral on social media.
