Karnataka lawmaker Prajwal Revanna - who went to Germany last month, shortly after sex crimes allegations by women who said he forced them into sexual acts that were then filmed - was arrested just after midnight as he arrived at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport.
The Janata Dal-Secular leader - who flew back aboard Lufthansa flight LH0764 - was taken into custody by members of a special police team tasked with investigating the charges against him.
