Lokayukta court summons BSY over corruption case

The Lokayukta court has summoned former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa to appear before it on August 27.

The former CM and his family members were indicted in a report on the illegal mining racket in the state by former Lokayukta Santosh Hegde.

The case against Yeddyurappa was filed by advocate Sirajudin Pasha. Earlier, the state governor had accorded sanction to prosecute the beleaguered BJP leader.

But the trouble for the ruling BJP doesn't end here. A special court on Monday cancelled the bail plea of former minister Katta Subramanya Naidu.

Naidu, along with his son Katta Jagadish, had been charged with corruption and a case was subsequently filed by the Lokayukta.

Naidu and his son Katta Jagadish were arrested by the police immediately after his bail plea was cancelled and remanded to judicial custody.
