Shreyas M Patel of Congress was the winner in the constituency.

Prajwal secured 6,30,339 votes, while Patel got 6,72,988.

 

Prajwal (33), the grandson of JD-S patriarch H D Deve Gowda, had contested as the National Democratic Alliance candidate.

As charges against him of sexually abusing women emerged, after Hassan went to polls on April 26, the JD-S suspended him from the party.

He is currently in the custody of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing the cases.
