Shivamogga, Jul 25: The police team investigating the alleged assault and attempt to kidnap on Vinay Bidre, personal assistant of BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa, has named N.R. Santosh, an aide of former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, as the prime accused in the case registered at the Mahalakshmi Layout police station in May this year.

eeshyeddySantosh’s anticipatory bail plea was heard in a sessions court on Monday. Public Prosecutor Nagappa told the court that Santosh appears to be the mastermind and should not be released on bail, said police sources.

Meanwhile, investigators are searching for a CD that the suspects mentioned, added police sources.

All the arrested persons — Prashanth, Kishore, Selvam, Aiyappa, Aravind — and Rajendra Urs, a suspect who secured bail recently, claimed they were working on the instructions of Santosh, the sources said.

The police have been searching for Santosh. On July 15 midnight, a team visited Yeddyurappa's house looking for Santosh, but could not find him.

The elections to fill the vacant 18 Rajya Sabha seats from seven states are scheduled to be held on June 19. Elections to four Rajya Sabha seats will be held in Karnataka.

"The core committee of the party had recommended a few names. Afterwards, the party's all-India president consulted with me. Finally, these two names were finalised," Yediyurappa said.

The nominations will be scrutinised on Wednesday and the last date for withdrawal of nomination is June 12.
