Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday congratulated the investigation and prosecution teams after a special court sentenced former Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna to 'imprisonment for the remainder of his natural life' in a rape case on Saturday.

"I would like to first congratulate our team on providing evidence, witnesses and so on, so that the judiciary and judges would take the right decision. I am sure that this has helped the judiciary to take such a historical decision," Parameshwara told reporters, reacting to the court's verdict.

"None of us in our cabinet interfered with this case. We had left it to the team, and they have done a wonderful job so that the judiciary is able to take the right decision," he said.
