Amidst mounting troubles for NDA's candidate Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, Prajwal Revanna, and his father HD Revanna, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will likely seek a 'Blue Corner Notice' against the MP. This comes after around 3,000 videos allegedly showing him involved in sexual abuse went viral on April 28.

The Karnataka government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the allegations against JD(S). His father AD Remanna is in SIT custody. Earlier, the SIT had issued a notice to Prajwal Revanna and directed him to appear, but Prajwal Revanna did not appear and had asked for more time through his lawyer, but the SIT refused. After that the SIT had issued a lookout notice against him.

What is Blue Corner Notices? 

Blue Corner Notices are issued by the international police co-operation body to collect additional information from its member countries about the identity, location or activities of a person in relation to a crime.

How Blue Corner Notices are different from Red Corner? 

Red Corner and Blue Corner Notices are usually issued by the CBI through Interpol for the arrest of accused in foreign countries. Generally, Red Corner Notice is issued in such cases. Red Corner Notice is a request for extradition or similar legal action against an accused or criminal anywhere in the world.

On the other hand, Interpol collects more information about the criminal/accused in collaboration with foreign agencies through Blue Corner. This means that Interpol can issue a Blue Corner Notice to any of its member countries to obtain information about the identity, location or suspected activities of an offender.

Two lookout notices so far

The Karnataka government so far issues two lookout notices against Prajwal Revanna accused of a major sex scandal which is the past week snowballed into a major political controversy.Several videos surfaced in which women have been assaulted, raped, and filmed by Prajwal.
