More than 250 video clips, including porn, found on mobile phone and pen drive seized from Prajwal Revann

Forensic analysis of the mobile phone and pen seized from the jail cell where former MP Prajwal Revanna was lodged during the CCB raid found over 250 video clips on the mobile phone and pen drive. These reportedly include porn clips, OTT series and movies. While the mobile phone had 147 clips, the pen drive had over 100 videos.

Prajwal reportedly told investigators that he mainly used the phone to make phone calls and denied any knowledge of the videos on the devices. He reportedly claimed that because the phone was rotated among several inmates, he did not know who had downloaded the videos and other material found on the device.

Prajwal reportedly admitted contacting his mother but said he spoke to her through a phone used by one of her maids rather than calling her directly. He also allegedly told investigators that he had been talking to a girlfriend. In prison, he reportedly used a mobile phone for regular calls and video calls.

Police are now reviewing call records and are likely to issue alerts to those whose numbers were contacted from the device. Investigators will question them to find out who used the phone and the nature of the calls.

Money paid

Prajwal reportedly paid around ₹1 lakh to get the phone which was supplied to him through many people including jail staff who are now under arrest and being questioned.

Police are also examining cellphone data and other digital evidence to determine who used the device at different times and under what circumstances it was operated at the prison.
