BENGALURU: The special court for elected representatives here directed the Lokayukta police on Saturday to conduct a fresh investigation with regard to a land denotification complaint lodged against Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa in 2013.
The complaint was filed by Vasudeva Reddy, who claimed that certain pieces of land acquired for the IT corridor were de-notified for illegal gain under a government notification dated June 21, 2006 by Yediyurappa (arraigned as accused no. 2) when he was deputy CM and they were allotted to entrepreneurs.
The investigating officer filed a final report stating that no offence appears to have been committed by accused no. 2. However, special judge Shridhar Gopalakrishna Bhat noted that the final report doesn’t instil confidence in the court.
