(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Against the backdrop of growing concerns regarding the Prajwal Revanna sexual assault case, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has taken a significant step by issuing a lookout notice against Prajwal Revanna, who is currently abroad. However, speculation looms regarding the potential enforcement of a red corner notice against him.
Prajwal Revanna, who left the country using a diplomatic passport, has sparked doubts about his return, as he can freely travel from one country to another without requiring a visa. In light of this, the possibility of a red corner notice being issued against him is being discussed.

The lookout notice, typically used within the country, cannot be extended to foreign airports, necessitating the need for a red corner notice to alert international authorities. It's anticipated that the SIT, in coordination with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), may pursue this route through Interpol.
A red corner notice would enable the authorities of any country to arrest the accused upon entry, tightening the legal noose around Prajwal Revanna, who faces allegations of sexual assault. The decision to issue a red corner notice comes after Prajwal Revanna departed from the country before the SIT's formation, raising suspicions of potential absconding.
Meanwhile, the SIT has outlined a comprehensive investigation plan, focusing on three key areas. One team will be stationed in Hassan to conduct on-ground inquiries, including victim interrogations, statement recording, and evidence collection.

As the investigation unfolds on multiple fronts, the pressure mounts on Prajwal Revanna, with the prospect of international legal ramifications looming large.
