Congress candidate Shreyas M Patel is currently leading with 5,14,485 votes while Prajwal got 4,91,067 votes.

JD(S) is, however, leading in the other two seats – Mandya and Kolar.

Prajwal, grandson of former PM HD Deve Gowda and nephew of former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, was arrested from the Bengaluru airport shortly after his arrival from Germany on Friday. Revanna, a member of the Lok Sabha, is accused of sexually assaulting multiple women.

The members of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sexual assault case camped out at the airport the entire night, waiting for his arrival.
