Former MP Prajwal Revanna has been moved from a VIP cell to a general cell after a Central Crime Branch raid found a mobile phone and pen drive with obscene videos in his possession. He now shares a room with 20 other prisoners, must wear the standard uniform, and report for work in the jail library. The jail assistant superintendent has been suspended, and the DGP has ordered an inquiry into how the devices entered the prison. Home minister Priyank Kharge said action will be taken regardless of rank. Revanna’s father HD Revanna said the home department is responsible for the probe.
