CID issues notice to senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader B S Yediyurappa in Posco case

Bengaluru: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has issued a notice to senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to appear before its probe team for an inquiry in connection with a Pocso case registered against him, police sources said on Wednesday.

Yediyurappa is presently in Delhi, and he is likely to join the probe after he returns, sources close to him said.

The 54-year-old woman, who had leveled the charge against Yediyurappa, died at a private hospital here last month due to lung cancer.

The 81-year-old Yediyurappa has denied the charge and said he would fight the case legally.

"The CID had sent a notice yesterday asking him to appear today. However, since he is presently in Delhi, he has sought time. He will appear before the police after three days," a party source said.

The CID has already recorded the statement of the victim and her mother under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), police added.
