A political controversy erupted after sex tape emerged against Prajwal Revanna amid Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Prajwal Revanna is the grandson of former PM Deve Gowda. 

HD Kumaraswamy, as per PTI, stated: "So far, there are no direct allegations against Prajwal Revanna. If the charges are true, punishment should happen in accordance with law. There is no compromise. If Prajwal Revanna is wrong, our family is in agreement for action to be taken against him." 

The BJP, an alliance partner of JD(S) in Karnataka, demanded action if there was any truth to the allegations.

Later, JD(S) suspended Hassan MP over the allegations of sexual harassment of women. 

Meanwhile, Karnataka government constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the alleged sex scandal involving the Hassan MP.
