Bengaluru (Karnataka): Former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa faces serious legal proceedings as the Crime Investigation Department (CID) has filed a comprehensive charge sheet against him in a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case.
The charge sheet, spanning 750 pages, was submitted to a special court dedicated to handling POCSO cases, detailing allegations stemming from an incident earlier this year.
The case originates from a complaint filed by the mother of a 17-year-old girl, accusing Yediyurappa of molestation during an encounter at his residence in Dollars Colony in Bengaluru on February 2. Following the initial police complaint in March, the investigation was swiftly transferred to the CID by Karnataka's Director General of Police, Alok Mohan.
According to sources, the charge sheet names not only Yediyurappa but also includes three others identified as Arun, Rudresh, and Mariswamy as accomplices in the alleged crime. The document reportedly cites the destruction of crucial evidence, specifically the victim's mother's video uploaded on social media, allegedly erased under Yediyurappa's instructions.
