NEW DELHI: The Karnataka CID on Thursday filed a chargesheet against former chief minister and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa, in connection with a POCSO case registered against him.
In March this year, the Sadashivanagar police had registered a case of molestation against the BJP stalwart. Later, the Karnataka Director General of Police Alok Mohan transferred the case to the CID.
The case was registered based on a complaint by the mother of a 17-year-old girl who alleged that Yediyurappa molested her daughter during a meeting in February, at his residence in Dollars Colony.
Yediyurappa has denied the charge, and said “people would teach a lesson to those indulging in conspiracies against me”.
The 54-year-old woman, who had leveled the charges against Yediyurappa, died at a private hospital in May, due to lung cancer.
The CID questioned Yediyurappa for about 3 hours on June 17 in connection with the case.
The Karnataka High Court had earlier passed orders restraining the CID from arresting Yediyurappa in the case.
