02:39And you're joining us here on our special broadcast on India today, where we're focusing on the action,
03:08the conviction of Prajwal Revan, former JDS MP, a member of parliament, who for years together
03:15used his political clout to get away from the law, has been accused of sexually assaulting,
03:22of raping, of threatening many, many women. And now in one of the many rape cases against him,
03:28he's been convicted. Convicted in the case that was filed by a domestic worker in his house.
03:34His house helped file the case of rape against him. And a special court in Bengaluru has found
03:40him guilty. Revan is facing now three criminal cases filed in 2024, all of them raped. This
03:49after many obscene video clips depicting the sexual abuse of multiple women had surfaced on social media.
03:56He tried to run away, tried as hard as he could to use his political influence to get away,
04:01but couldn't. 14 months in, in a landmark speedy trial that's taken place, Prajwal Revan has been
04:08found guilty of rape.
04:09The law finally catches up with former JDS MP, Prajwal Revan. A special court for people's
04:21representatives has convicted Revan in a rape case filed against him by a domestic worker
04:26from K.R. Nagar in Mysore. The verdict was delivered just 14 months after the case was
04:33registered, with the trial concluding at a remarkable pace.
04:40Here in this case, I examined 26 witnesses on behalf of the prosecution, though I was
04:45cited more than 100 witnesses. And I got marked 180 documents in fear of the prosecution. And
04:51main evidence is of the victim leading. That was very, very convincing one. And also I congratulate
04:58the SIT team. Very, I think deeply and minutely they have initiated in all respect.
05:05Revana broke down in court when the verdict arrived. He was seen crying as he left the courtroom.
05:12The pleasure of the accused, he himself recorded the video during his illegal acts or sexual acts.
05:19Because of that only we have taken into assistance of the digital evidence to find out the truth
05:25the incident had taken place three, four years back. But when the earlier video is not morphed
05:30one, genuine one, such incidents happened. That is, ultimately, one can come to the conclusion.
05:37According to the case, which was registered at the cybercrime station of the CID, Revana raped
05:43the woman on two occasions and recorded the act on video. The CID's special investigation
05:49team, led by Inspector Shoba, collected 123 pieces of evidence during the course of the
05:55investigation and submitted a voluminous charge sheet spanning nearly 2,000 pages. The survivor
06:01submitted a saree as physical evidence, which she had preserved. Forensic analysis has confirmed
06:06the presence of sperm on the saree, which was presented in court and accepted as a key evidence
06:12in establishing the rape. The trial commenced on the 31st of December, 2024, and over the
06:18next seven months, the court examined 23 witnesses. The sections under which Prajwal Ravana was convicted
06:27carry varying degrees of punishment, from a minimum sentence of ten years, which may extend
06:32to life imprisonment.
06:33Pratwal Ravana is the grandson of former Prime Minister and JDS Patriarch. It's the
06:38JDS Patriarch, H.D. Devigauda. Pratwal failed to retain Karnataka's Afsan parliamentary constituency in the
06:4420th century.
06:45Pratwal Ravana is the grandson of former Prime Minister and JDS Patriarch, H.D. Devigauda.
06:50Pratwal Ravana is the grandson of JDS Patriarch, H.D. Devigauda. Pratwal failed to retain Karnataka's
07:05Afsan parliamentary constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha ports. He was also suspended by the
07:12JDS following cases filed against him.
07:16Pratwal Ravana's counsel, legal counsel and families are exploring legal options. This is just one
07:21among the four pending cases against Pratwal Ravana and now a 48-year-old woman who had complained
07:27of rape. In that case, Pratwal Ravana has been convicted by the special court. Nagar Jindwar Karnat
07:32for India Today.
07:41And father, H.D. Ravana, who himself remembers, is in the dock over a kidnapping case related
07:46to what's happened with his son, Pratwal Ravana, was asked about his son's conviction. He's evaded
07:52all questions right now. H.D. Ravana, remember, tried to shield his son, claimed this was a
07:58political conspiracy, claimed it's politically motivated. But now, when asked about the fact
08:03that there's been ample evidence to go ahead and convict his son, he refused to take all
08:09of the questions. He's out on bail himself in a kidnapping case. Take a look at exactly what happened.
08:14long reaction, sir.
08:24long reaction
08:30long reaction
08:33long reaction
08:41long reaction
08:43As expected, HD Revan are there not really offering any answers to reporters when asked
09:06about his son's conviction.
09:07The same man who went out on a limb to try and protect his son despite the grave allegations
09:12that came to the fore.
09:13Remember, he is also in the dock in a kidnapping case when he and Prajwal tried to hush up one
09:19of the women, one of the families from speaking out.
09:22He's currently out on bail himself.
09:24Let me bring in Nagarjun Dwarkanath who's joining us live on this broadcast from Bengaluru
09:29with the latest updates.
09:30So Nagarjun, finally, you're seeing action against Prajwal Revan, much needed.
09:36And this is just the first of many other cases.
09:38I understand in all there are four rape cases against this man.
09:42Well, that's true.
09:43Four rape cases and one has been in a verdict result and he's been convicted and this was
09:48the strongest case against him is what the prosecution also feels because the digital
09:52evidence matched, the DNA evidence matched.
09:54And the victim confessed before the police under Section 164.
09:58She recorded a statement and all three evidences worked against Prajwal Revan.
10:02And the biggest takeaway is that the court finished the whole trial in a matter of a few months
10:07from arrest to conviction.
10:09The whole process was ended in 14 months.
10:12And that's a big takeaway from the judicial system.
10:14Also, the prosecution thanked the SIT team to make it a watertight case.
10:19They had access to all the evidences and ensured that the witness and the victim were protected.
10:24Initially, the victim was kidnapped from Prajwal's family and kept in a guest house or a farmhouse
10:29in Mysore.
10:30And later the SIT had to reach out and rescue her and then take her into protection, give
10:34her protection and then take her into custody and record the statement.
10:37What had happened?
10:38This was the step that was SIT had taken.
10:40And Prajwal initially when he landed on May 31st, 2024, when he lost the election, he landed
10:45from Germany.
10:46In the moment he landed, he was taken into custody and then taken to CID office that night.
10:50Today, he was in the court hall.
10:51He broke down the moment he heard that the conviction had happened.
10:56Now, his family and his legal counsel is trying to move the High Court.
10:59They're waiting for the official order copy.
11:01But that also is a lengthy process.
11:03It will not finish in six to eight months.
11:05So, more than a year, Prajwal will now be held as a convict in Bangalore Central Prison.
11:10Okay.
11:11So, straight to the Bangalore Central Prison it is.
11:13Of course, they will be looking and exploring at all possible legal options.
11:17But at this point, no hope really for Prajwal Revana as it should be.
11:21Looking at the grave charges against him, four rape cases.
11:24In the first one that was filed by his household, by a domestic worker in their residence, in
11:30the Revana residence, he's been found guilty, convicted for rape.
11:34Let me bring in on this broadcast, Brinda Adige, women's rights activist.
11:37We also have Mr. Sanjay Hegde, senior advocate of the Supreme Court.
11:41Mr. Hegde, I'd like to begin with you.
11:43Good evening.
11:44Just explain to us, Mr. Hegde, why this case sets a great precedent.
11:48In a matter of 14 months, we've seen a crackdown against a hugely influential figure and a conviction
11:55happening with the fastest processing of evidence and the trial moving super fast.
11:59Well, Mr. Revana, as a former MP, there are judgments of the Supreme Court directing that cases involving politicians should be heard and decided fast.
12:13In this case, there has been a clean investigation.
12:17The investigation has unearthed a lot of evidence which Mr. Revana himself created.
12:23Because all those videos were obviously taken by him or somebody else at his behest.
12:29And they were available to the investigators.
12:32So, you had the testimony of the victim herself, which is corroborated both by electronic evidence as well as by physical evidence.
12:43As a consequence, it is not surprising that when the evidence is totaled up, he has been convicted.
12:54There are four other cases also, I believe.
12:58And each of them, there may be separate sentences.
13:02So, that would really put him away for a long time on the basis of his convictions.
13:10You know, we're often very, very critical of the judiciary.
13:14But in this particular case, it's because of the fact that we have these kind of provisions to ensure that the likes of MPs and MLAs face justice
13:22when they're involved in these kind of cases, that you've seen how fast and expedited this trial was.
13:27Brinda Ardike, for someone like Prajwal Revana, hugely influential.
13:32Member of Parliament, belongs to the first family of JDS.
13:35The fact that he's been convicted in one of four rape cases is sending out a very clear message that no one will be spared.
13:42You're involved in these kind of grave crimes. You will pay the price.
13:47Absolutely. It's a breath of fresh air.
13:50And like you mentioned, once in a while you get a case like this, that restos our faith in the judiciary.
13:56That restos our faith in the system that there are some people who will uphold, uphold constitutional rights.
14:04But more than that, follow through with the law.
14:07Because we know that these cases are there, these kinds of cases are there across India.
14:12And like you mentioned, he is a very, very powerful person.
14:16And something like this has been happening for many, many years.
14:20There have been whispers. If you have your ear to the ground, you know that there have been whispers from a lot, many people.
14:27You also mentioned that he broke down in court.
14:30Him and his family must know that they broke down and shattered hundreds of families, hundreds of women, who cannot even go back to their village.
14:39Because these people also have a lot of supporters.
14:43And these supporters are on the ground and they don't spare women.
14:46And all the time, they will keep saying that, you know, this woman provoked, that woman's character was like this.
14:53And that is why he is not at fault.
14:55And I'm hoping and praying that he doesn't get any kind of, you know, parole or like Ram Rahim, who keeps coming out every 10, 20 days.
15:05He must not get something like that.
15:07He must serve his sentence. And what must go across very strongly is you can come and report.
15:16And there are people out there, the police, the prosecution and the judges, who will ensure that these people are brought to book.
15:24That they will be punished and serve that punishment.
15:27Because serving the punishment is another challenge.
15:30We also know that many people get away.
15:32And when they get away, they come back out.
15:35And the victim, who might also be the witness, then has no longer anything to hold on to.
15:40Their lives are also shattered further.
15:42So the system has to look after the victim and the survivors who are out here now.
15:47Plus ensure that this man serves his sentence fully.
15:52And I hope he serves it one after another so that he remains in jail for a very long time.
15:58You know, right now we're setting a great example in the fact that we've seen Prajwal being convicted in a matter of 14 months.
16:04And you're right in pointing out that on one hand you have someone who's so influential politically and otherwise.
16:10And up against him are all of these victims who kept quiet for years together, worried about the consequences if they spoke out.
16:17They finally got the courage to speak out.
16:19And this case itself, the fact that he's been convicted in the rape of his house help tells you what kind of bravery and courage you must have taken for her, for her family to finally speak out about the torture and abuse that she's faced at the hands of Prajwal Revan Na for the last many years.
16:36But Mr. Hegde, looking at the details that have emerged of this particular case and the others, what really to you, sir, would be the maximum punishment that Prajwal Revan Na could actually face?
16:46Well, in rape cases, it could be anything upwards of 10 years and given the circumstances, it could even be a life imprisonment.
16:58But as I told you earlier, each of those four cases which are being prosecuted, they are separate acts.
17:11They are not acts within the same series of transactions so as to qualify for concurrent sentences.
17:23Sentences, if there are convictions in each of these matters, would necessarily have to be consecutive.
17:32So, even if it is 10 years in each case, it might end up with a 40-year sentence to be undergone.
17:41Okay.
17:42And also, just to, you know, also take forward the question that Brinda Adige asked, which is a concern that most citizens have.
17:48They say that, look, someone this powerful may have been convicted, but they always have the codes available to them, which is why they get paroles, they get furloughs, they get breaks that normal convicts don't.
17:58What's your response to that, Mr. Hegde?
18:00How, is there any guarantee that when you look at the serious charges against Prajwal Revan Na, that will essentially ensure that he doesn't get these kind of breaks?
18:09Well, Ram Rahim was mentioned.
18:16The authority that grants parole is the government of the day.
18:21In Ram Rahim's case, it is quite obvious that there are a lot of votes involved.
18:26Here also, on similar conditions, if there is a different government where votes are required, I can't give a guarantee that there will never be parole.
18:39And parole often is used when people grow old, people need medical help, or there is something in the family, death or a wedding.
18:51Those times parole is, for a very limited period, is granted.
18:57But consecutive paroles like the one that we are seeing from the Haryana government, that is an oddity.
19:03And maybe at some point of time, some court will have to look at it.
19:08Well, we definitely hope that's the case, that it is and remains an oddity right now.
19:13The likes of Prajwal Revan Na, of course, are facing justice.
19:17The first step, at least, towards justice is being realized here in this particular case.
19:22Brinda Adige, you know, the allegation here is not just against a Prajwal Revan Na.
19:26His father, H.D. Revan Na, also accused, named in a kidnapping case related to Prajwal Revan Na, related to shielding him.
19:33Are you hopeful seeing this conviction, that in all the other cases related to Prajwal Revan Na, and for that matter as family members, we will finally see action?
19:41That is going to be doubtful, but let us hope that we have strong progressive judges who will ensure that the case that has been brought before them is fast-tracked and the father is also punished.
19:57And, you know, I think there was another person also who was convicted, who was brought to book, a case was registered, but nothing much happened.
20:06Again, we need to understand that the victim survivors are still out there.
20:11They keep getting called to the court, and that is why these cases get delayed.
20:16And what is the message that must go very strongly across is women must come up and speak, which means communities and families must support them.
20:27They must not cast aspersions on women and say, why did you come so late?
20:31Why did you not inform that time?
20:33Because here the power equation is absolutely skewed.
20:36There's no way a woman can come immediately and speak up.
20:39She is also waiting to see what is the kind of support that she will get.
20:42And often we as families and communities and mechanisms that are out there to protect and safeguard, do not extend that kind of support to them.
20:51And that is why it becomes such a challenge that we are expecting the court to do something.
20:56There was also somewhere that one of the women who was being questioned or when her statement was being made at CID, there was some kind of an intimidation.
21:07So, you know, we do have these kind of officers here and there, and that might break a case.
21:14And it may not be a watertight case that comes up there.
21:17So, it is important that the coordination and the collaboration, everybody is equally accountable to ensure that they bring the culprit to book.
21:26Not only that, they extend that support to the victim survivors and their families.
21:31It is so difficult.
21:32You know, getting even the victim compensation.
21:34It is extremely difficult.
21:35There are no funds with the government.
21:37Of course.
21:38So, when you look at all of these things, we are happy at one end that, you know, somebody has looked at all of this and is going to now, you know, have this punishment pronounced for them.
21:49But the long-drawn case is still for the victim survivor who has to bear the consequences for the rest of their lives.
21:57But the reality is, at least in this case, where the woman finally got the courage to speak out, file this case against Prajwal Revana, there has been justice.
22:05He has been convicted.
22:06The allegation is that from 2021, Prajwal Revana has allegedly sexually assaulted many, many women.
22:13And many of them haven't had the courage to come out and speak about what's happened.
22:17Hopefully, with this conviction, many of them will now speak out about what they've undergone, what they've endured.
22:23Mr. Sanjay Hagade, Brinda Adige, thank you very much for your time and for joining us here on India Today.
22:28Just to re-jog all of our viewers' memories as well as to exactly what happened.
22:33Remember that this case had come to the fore last year in 2024.
22:37And Prajwal Revana, a powerful political heir, first family of the JDS, son of H.D. Revana, grandson of Devagauda.
22:46So now faces the weight of justice.
22:49He's been convicted in one of many extremely disturbing rape cases.
22:53There have been graphic videos, explicit photos allegedly clicked by him,
22:58recording him indulging in these kind of assault and rapes, based on which multiple FIRs were filed against him.
23:06There's a mountain of evidence against Prajwal Revana.
23:09But the challenge always was to ensure that this trial is untouched by the political influence that he enjoys.
23:16Remember right after these videos had come to the fore and it was leaked essentially in his stronghold of Hassan in Karnataka,
23:24he fled to Germany.
23:25And so the challenge was for over one month just to bring him back and make him face the law.
23:31Let's get you a recap of exactly what had happened.
23:34A sexual predator now finally being punished for his perverted crimes.
23:49Prajwal Revana has finally been convicted.
23:51But mind you, this is just in one rape case.
23:55There are several others pending even now.
23:58But let's take you back to April 2024, when Karnataka was rocked by a volley of charges of rape, sexual abuse and more.
24:09Photos and videos began circulating of Prajwal, explicit ones showing Prajwal sexually assaulting multiple women in Karnataka's Hassan.
24:18These clips were allegedly filmed by Revana himself and circulated widely via USB drives.
24:26As soon as the videos emerged, Prajwal fled, headed to Germany amid a growing chorus for his arrest.
24:33Multiple FIRs were filed, accusing him of rape, threats, confinement, recording the assaults and using these recordings to intimidate and blackmail them.
24:45Prajwal's family, the first family of JDS, came under massive pressure, claiming they did not know his whereabouts.
24:53Damage control attempts were made.
24:56Prajwal's uncle, HD Kumaraswamy made it clear, family would not protect him.
25:01His grandfather too, called out Prajwal.
25:04We request the central government to conduct a fair enquiry.
25:09Disrespected any woman in this state, we are for the enquiry, not only enquiry.
25:15If that enquiry is proof, proof is there, anything goes wrong against the women.
25:21We are the first person to demand the proper decision taken by the government.
25:29And then emerged Prajwal with a detailed video statement, where believe it or not, he played the victim card, claiming he was depressed.
25:44Finally, on May 31st, Prajwal Ravana returned to Bengaluru and was immediately arrested.
25:51The most wanted man in the country at the moment, Prajwal Ravana's convoy has arrived at the CID office in Bengaluru.
25:59That's the convoy, one convoy after the other.
26:02That has just started to come inside the CID office.
26:05As you can see, the two women police officers heading the CID team, Suman and Seema Ladkar.
26:11Well, that's Prajwal Ravana over there.
26:14He was escorted by the top cops of the Karnataka.
26:18But the taint spread.
26:22Prajwal's father, HD Ravana, was arrested over kidnapping allegations in an attempt to shield his son.
26:29He also tried repeatedly to call the serious allegations of rape as politically motivated.
26:36This monster will finally pay the price for the countless women he targeted,
26:41thinking he would get away with it simply because of his political power.
26:46Bureau Report, India Today.
26:52And just to break down for you why exactly this is a very, very prominent conviction that's taken place.
26:58Prajwal Ravana is extremely influential and belongs to a very influential family in Karnataka.
27:04He is the grandson of HD Devagauda.
27:07JDS chief, former prime minister of the country.
27:10Essentially, HD Devagauda's eldest son is HD Ravana,
27:14who is also part of the JDS.
27:16Mind you, there's a case against him.
27:18He's currently out on bail.
27:19The allegation against HD Ravana is that of kidnapping.
27:22He had allegedly kidnapped family members of a woman who was accusing Prajwal Ravana of rape.
27:27So attempting to hush up the case essentially.
27:29He has two sons, Suraj and Prajwal Ravana.
27:32Prajwal Ravana was already in the political scene, was the JDS candidate from Hassan's seat when this entire scandal erupted.
27:40And so he was immediately dropped, suspended from the JDS.
27:43Now he's been convicted for rape.
27:46His uncle is HD Kumaraswamy, who's right now the most active in JDS.
27:52He is Devagauda's younger son, former Karnataka chief minister, of course.
27:56So in the JDS, he's now the one calling the shots.
27:59His son Nikhil Gauda is also very much present in the political scenario, active in politics, was previously an actor.
28:07So this is a family tree of the JDS.
28:09Almost all of them in politics.
28:11Prajwal Ravana is the stain there because he's been convicted for rape.
28:16We are going to continue tracking all the latest updates that come in on the story.
28:21Prajwal Ravana, the predator, the sexual predator in Karnataka, finally being convicted.
28:26Let's get to the latest updates coming in on the Dharmastala investigation into the mass alleged burials.
28:32It's day five of the SIT continuing with their dig-ups of the 15 sites that have been identified by the alleged whistleblower.
28:41So far, only at one of the eight sites exhumed, there has been the presence of skeletal remains.
28:48But that's not put the brakes on the constant twists and turns that continue to emerge in this saga.
28:53Take a look at this ground report first.
28:55It's day five of digging on the banks of the Netravathi river in the temple town of Dharmastala in Karnataka.
29:12And the suspense is only building up.
29:14After no success at five locations, site number six has yielded remains of a skeleton.
29:23But police sources say they are most likely male.
29:27In fact, we can now confirm that a total of 25 bone fragments were recovered during the exhibition process at spot number six.
29:36Forensic analysis is expected to follow.
29:39After the excitement around site number six, it was back to not for the team again when they dug up site number seven.
29:49This excavation is part of the ongoing alleged mass burial investigation by an SIT.
29:59Of the 15 spots identified by the former sanitation worker who claimed that hundreds were buried after possible rape and torture, 13 were accepted by SIT for investigation.
30:12India today also confronted the Dharmastala Gram Panchayat Vice President over his earlier press conference,
30:22where he claimed to have documents proving that all burials were conducted following legal procedures.
30:27Now he's taken a U-turn stating that the police sought help from the Gram Panchayat and that they merely provided manpower to carry out the burials.
30:37It all started when a former sanitation worker had alleged that he was forced to bury and cremate bodies of women and men.
30:44With many showing signs of sexual assault between 1998 and 1998 and 2014 in the Temple town.
30:47It all started when a former sanitation worker had alleged that he was forced to bury and cremate bodies of women and minors with many showing signs of sexual assault between 1998 and 2014 in the Temple town.
31:01The new discovery will give clarity to the SIT whether this time and resource consuming probe is indeed going in the right direction.
31:22With Saghair Raj in Dharmastala, Bureau Report, India Today.
31:32And here's a big update that's coming in right now.
31:38The police, the local police which is the Beltangadi police in this particular case have admitted to destroying 15 years of records all wiped out in this particular case.
31:48The cops have come under sharp criticism after admitting to destroying key records all with regards to unidentified death cases registered between 2000 and 2015.
31:59So 15 years, any unidentified death cases, no data available.
32:05It's all been wiped out essentially.
32:07This overlaps obviously with the timeline that this alleged whistleblower has given because according to him from 1998 all the way to 2014, he had gone ahead and buried bodies, hundreds of them as he says.
32:21And within that time frame of about 15 years, there's no details about really all of the unidentified deaths that were reported.
32:29This has come to the fore via an RTI reply.
32:31I want to bring in Saghair Raj who's been tracking all the latest updates in Dharmastala.
32:35Saghair, this is a huge setback to the investigation because any effort to go ahead and corroborate any remains with missing persons, that goes for it all essentially.
32:45Absolutely and this particular RTI was filed by one of the activists where they have requested the Beltengri police to give details on postmortem handbills as well as the effort made by Beltengri police to trace the families of all those unknown dead bodies which was been discovered from between year 2000 to 2015.
33:07In reply at the Beltengri police station went out to say that they have destroyed all those documents as a procedure as an administrative circular which was being issued.
33:17So now the experts especially the legal experts are questioning this particular act of police because without digitizing because even when you apply for an RTI they can give a digital copy to you or they can say that these are the documents which has been preserved.
33:32Because these criminal cases anybody can go ahead and enquire at the police station what is the status of it, have you found this person, so and so person we were searching for.
33:42So this is a complaint that we have received from the other police station.
33:45You claim that their body discovered whether this is matching.
33:47So anybody can ask any of these details in this kind of criminal cases.
33:52Those documents are sanctioned for this kind of investigation.
33:58And Dakshin Karada despite being one of the leading district for digitizing the documents have not digitized and destroyed all these documents is a big question by the authorities as well as the investigation team as well as the experts, legal experts against the police intention on this entire procedure.
34:20Okay, Sagai getting us all of those details.
34:24Sagai just to also quickly focus on what's been happening as far as the investigation by the SIT goes.
34:29You've been tracking the digging up the excavation that's been underway at those 15 sites.
34:34What's the latest on that?
34:35Sagai.
34:36Sagai.
34:37Sagai.
34:38We will test on that.
34:39Sagai.
34:40Xt day was a fruitful bidet for a special investigation team.

37:17look out circular Anil Ambani cannot travel outside of India I want to bring in Munish Pandey for more details Munish has this look out circular been issued because the ED fears that he could be a flight risk or is it because they believe that he's already fled
37:30well Akchita at this point of time this is a precautionary measure which has been taken by the enforcement record which means that they do not want Anil Ambani to leave the country in last one week Akchita what we have seen is that there is a there has been a series of crackdown against
37:46against the business entities of Anil Ambani the first search was in connection with 3,000 crore rupees of bank fraud case which we saw that it lasted for more than three days again there was an allegation by the enforcement director that he's also his business entities are involved in 14,000 crore bank fraud case this morning what we were given to understand is that in a fake bank guarantee case also Anil Ambani's business entities are
38:13being searched being searched in Orissa as well as in Kolkata even today what we do know that Anil Ambani has been summoned by the ED to appear before them on August 5 and amid all this ED approached the court and they have secured a look out circular against Anil Ambani which means that ED believes that you know Anil Ambani might be flight risk it's a precautionary measure because ED do not want Anil Ambani to leave the country
38:43he wants to leave the country he has to take permission from the court and Akchita it will be very important because Anil Ambani once upon a time a big business man of this country he will be appearing before the enforcement directorate on 5th of August for questioning Akchita
38:59Okay so he has been summoned by the enforcement directorate for questioning on 5th of August has there been any communication any statement from Anil Ambani Munish on whether he is going to be cooperating with the ED or appear before them on August 5th?
39:13Well Akchita there has been only one communication the day ED initiated their search and seizure operation against the business entities of Anil Ambani that day there was one statement that they will be cooperating with the investigative agencies but again it was on behalf of the firm on behalf of Anil Ambani there has been no statement it has been complete mum from Anil Ambani's side as far as ED is concerned they are saying that so far they have communicated to Anil Ambani that you have to come
39:42to the national capital and appear for questioning they will be questioned in multiple fraud cases Akchita and what we have been given to understand is that what started with a 3,000 crore bank fraud case now it has reached more than 20,000 crore rupees of fraud cases so there are multiple cases multiple agencies which are investigating Anil Ambani at this point of time and on 5th it is very likely that Anil Ambani has to appear before the enforcement directorate Akchita
40:11Okay Munish thanks for joining us with all of those details we'll track all the updates that come in closely but as Munish tells us this lookout circular issued at the behest of the enforcement directorate largely a precautionary measure the ED has already summoned Anil Ambani to be a part of the investigation on August 5th this is a precautionary measure to ensure that Anil Ambani doesn't leave the country
