Bengaluru, Sept 23: The city police have issued summons to former chief minister and BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa to appear before them on September 28 for questioning in connection with an attempt-to-kidnap and assault case involving Vinay, personal assistant to K.S. Eshwarappa, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council. 

The police have arrested eight persons so far and had even summoned Mr. Yeddyurappa’s PA, Santosh, for questioning.

After evading the police for a while, Mr. Santosh obtained anticipatory bail and appeared before the police. But he reportedly did not cooperate with the line of questioning. The police then approached the courts seeking cancellation of his bail as he had not adhered to the bail conditions. The matter is pending in court.

On Friday, Assistant Commissioner of Police A.R. Badiger, the investigating officer, served notice at Mr.Yeddyurappa’s house in Dollars Colony. There are some questions that need to be clarified, a senior police officer said.

A few months ago, the former Chief Minister had written to the then Police Commissioner Praveen Sood seeking a fair probe into the case. In that letter, he had batted for Mr. Santosh and alleged that he was being “framed.” The police probe later pointed to the conspiracy to attack and kidnap Mr. Vinay allegedly being hatched at Mr. Yeddyurappa’s house, where Mr. Santosh also was staying.

The police have registered cases against Santosh and his associates under IPC Sections 143 (unlawful assembly), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt ), 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 363 (kidnapping ), 511 (of fences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment), 331 (causing grievous hurt to extort confession, or to compel restoration of property) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy).

Bengaluru, May 27: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday hit out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government for allegedly "betraying" the people by not fulfilling its Rs 1,610 crore COVID-19 package promise.

Taking a dig at Yediyurappa over the matter, the Congress leader tweeted, "Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa has betrayed people by not fulfilling his Rs 1,610 crore package promise. He seems to be following his @BJP4India leader @PMOIndia @narendramodi."

"Crisis and vulnerability should not be misused for political gains and BJP for India is insensitive towards the same," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.

On May 6, Yediyurappa had urged migrant workers to stay back as construction activities have resumed and announced a Rs 1,610 crores COVID-19 financial package for the state.

"A package of Rs 1,610 crores will be released as COVID-19 financial relief. One time compensation of Rs 5,000 will be given to 2,30,000 barbers and 7,75,000 drivers," the Chief Minister said.

Referring to media reports, Siddarmiah cornered the state government for asking the licence to release funds for unorganised sector workers.

"How can we expect washermen and other unorganised sector workers to have licence for their work?" he asked.

It looks like Karnataka Chief Minister is very far from reality, he added.
