Prominent Indian ex-MP gets life sentence for rape

A prominent former Indian Member of Parliament, Prajwal Revanna, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape of a former employee. The incident occurred in 2016, and the victim had filed a complaint against Revanna, alleging that he had sexually assaulted her. After a lengthy legal battle, the court has found Revanna guilty of the charges and handed down the life sentence. The case has garnered significant attention in India, as Revanna was a well-known political figure. The verdict is seen as a significant step in the fight against sexual violence and the abuse of power, particularly among those in positions of authority. The case serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and that victims of sexual assault deserve justice, regardless of the perpetrator's social or political status.
