After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote a letter to the Karnataka Chief Minister, the latter said that the victims in the case would get the required support from the state government. In an X post, Siddaramaiah wrote, “The recent case involving Prajwal Revanna has deeply disturbed the nation. Upholding justice for the victims is crucial for maintaining faith in our legal system. Shri @RahulGandhi has written a letter, emphasizing support for the victims. We are committed to providing all necessary assistance to ensure a fair process.”

Meanwhile, a second lookout notice has been sent to Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna, who failed to appear before the SIT in the given time. Prajwal who responded earlier to the SIT notice sought seven days to appear for questioning, but the SIT has declined it.

In a new complaint filed in the KR Nagar police station in Mysuru, a man said his mother worked as a housemaid at HD Revanna's house for six years before returning to her village, where she worked as a daily-wage labourer. He said in the complaint he had come across a video of her month being abused by Prajwal Revanna. Soon after that, his mother went missing.
