Bengaluru: Former Karnataka CM and BJP veteran BS Yediyurappa said he will appear before CID on June 17 for an inquiry, following his return to Bengaluru Saturday. His statement came a day after Karnataka HC stayed a non-bailable warrant against him, in connection with a Pocso case.
“I had gone to Delhi for a pre-scheduled event. I had informed in advance that I will appear for an inquiry on June 17.HC has given an order, restraining CID (from arresting). I’m appearing for an inquiry Monday,” Yediyurappa said.
“I am not blaming anyone. Time will decide everything. People know the truth and teach a lesson to those conspiring against me,” he added, who has been booked under the Pocso Act and Section 354A (sexual harassment) of the IPC, based on a complaint by the late mother of a 17-year-old girl, who alleged that he molested her daughter.
