India, Aug. 4 -- Once drawing a monthly salary of Rs.1.2 lakh as a Member of Parliament, Prajwal Revanna now finds himself in starkly different circumstances, earning a potential Rs.540 per month as a life convict in Bengaluru Central Prison.

Revanna, who was disqualified as MP from Hassan in April 2024 following his conviction in a high-profile rape case, is now registered as prisoner number 15528, Times of India reported.

According to the publication, he has not yet been assigned a prison job but, according to jail officials, will be eligible to begin work from the following Monday. All convicts are expected to work six days a week, for eight-hour shifts, unless exempted for health reasons.
