Yediyurappa, aides paid money to sexual assault victim, mother to buy their silence, alleges chargesheet
India TV NewsThe Karnataka High Court on Friday extended by two weeks its interim order restraining the Criminal Investigation Department from arresting former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, against whom the probe agency has filed a chargesheet in connection with a case registered against him under POCSO Act. The CID, which is investigating the charges against Yediyurappa of sexually assaulting a minor girl, has alleged in the chargesheet that he and three other accused paid money to the alleged victim and her mother to buy their silence. The other three co-accused -- Arun Y M, Rudresh M and G Mariswamy who are aides of Yediyurappa -- are charged under IPC Sections 204 and 214, in the chargesheet filed at the Fast Track Court 1 for POCSO Act cases here on Thursday. According to the chargesheet, on February 2 this year, at around 11.15 am, the 17-year-old alleged victim, along with her 54-year-old mother -- the complainant -- visited Yediyurappa at his residence in Dollar’s Colony here seeking help in getting justice in a previous case of sexual assault and other issues.
