The denotification bug has come to hit the Karnataka government yet again. Two more cases have surfaced and this time Home Minister R Ashok is under the scanner.
The Lokayukta court directed the police to investigate him under Section 156 of the CrPC in connection with a denotification case. It is alleged that Ashok had denotified land to the extent of 9 and 14 acres in 2003 and 2009.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has been made a second accused in the case. The police will now file an FIR, which could force Ashok to step down.
In yet another development, a case has also been filed against Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani. Yeddyurappa is once again the second accused in the case.
