‘No Political Clearance Sought Or Given’: MEA On Prajwal Revanna’s Travel To Germany

Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said no political clearance was sought from or issued by the ministry in respect of the travel of the Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna to Germany. Prajwal is accused in an alleged sex scandal which is being investigated by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Karnataka government. He is believed to have escaped to Germany shortly after polling in the first phase of elections in the state got over on April 26, in which Prajwal was the JD(S)-BJP combine’s candidate from Hassan.
