This is said to be the first step towards seeking the cancellation of his passport, which will force him to return home. The Special Court for Elected Representatives issued the warrant on a plea on Saturday by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Accused of multiple instances of sexual abuse, Mr. Prajwal Revanna flew out of the country to Germany in the wee hours of April 27. A Blue Corner notice against him issued by Interpol to its 196-member countries seeking his current location has not got any response yet.
Meanwhile, according to intelligence sources he has been travelling across Europe where his diplomatic passport, as an Indian MP, gets him any entry without a visa.
Unconfirmed reports said he had been to Hungary, Austria, England, and Dubai. While leaving for Germany on April 27, he had booked a return ticket to Bengaluru on May 15, which he recently cancelled at the last minute. Sources said he was unlikely to return before the declaration of the Lok Sabha election results on June 4.
Now that an arrest warrant has been issued against Mr. Prajwal Revanna, SIT will likely seek cancellation of his passport shortly.
