90 Porn Videos Found on Prajwal: Prison Phone Seized Amid Investigation
Indiadailyupdate.com – Former Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna has once again become the center of attention after authorities discovered 90 porn videos found on Prajwal‘s mobile phone during a routine inspection at Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. The politician, who is currently serving a life sentence in a rape case, was in possession of an Android smartphone when Central Crime Branch (CCB) officials conducted a surprise raid at the correctional facility. The device was immediately confiscated and is now undergoing thorough forensic analysis to determine the extent of its contents and verify when the videos were downloaded.
Details of the Seizure and Investigation
According to multiple media reports, investigators discovered approximately 80 to 90 pornographic videos stored on the smartphone belonging to Prajwal Revanna. In addition to the videos, officials also recovered several newspaper clippings featuring women in revealing attire from the phone’s storage. The discovery has prompted prison authorities to launch a comprehensive investigation into how the contraband reached the high-profile inmate. The seized phone has been forwarded to forensic experts who will examine metadata, download timestamps, and verify the authenticity of all digital files found on the device.
The CCB raid took place on Tuesday, and shortly afterward, a video circulated on social media platforms showing Prajwal dressed in casual civilian clothes, apparently engaged in a phone conversation from within the prison premises. The timing of the raid and the subsequent discovery has raised questions about prison management protocols. Following the incident, Assistant Superintendent Shri Iranna Rangapur was suspended on the recommendation of the DIG (South) for alleged dereliction of duty. Additionally, a show-cause notice was issued to the Superintendent of Bengaluru Central Prison, requiring them to explain the lapses that allowed the phone to remain undetected.
“More than 300 mobile phones had been seized from Parappana Agrahara Prison over the past seven to eight months,” stated Director General of Police (Prisons and Correctional Services) Alok Kumar. “However, older stocks of confiscated phones collected over the previous three to four years had not yet been completely cleared.”
The CCB has formally filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara Police Station regarding the incident. DGP Alok Kumar described the situation as a major embarrassment for both the prison department and the state government. He emphasized that strict action would be taken against all responsible personnel. Kumar also acknowledged significant lapses in monitoring high-profile prisoners, noting that staff members deployed in the area should have maintained greater vigilance regarding inmate movements and possessions.
Prajwal Revanna, the son of JD(S) MLA H.D. Revanna and grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, represented Hassan in the Lok Sabha from 2019 to 2024. He was arrested in May 2024 in connection with sexual assault cases and was subsequently convicted in a rape case. In August 2025, a special court in Bengaluru sentenced him to life imprisonment, after which he was transferred to Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. The discovery of 90 porn videos found on Prajwal has added another layer to his legal and public relations challenges.
