Bengaluru: The Police have slapped a notice on State BJP President B.S. Yeddyurappa (BSY) directing him to appear before them in connection with an attempt to kidnap case.
In the notice, the former CM has been asked to appear before Malleswaram Sub-Division ACP A.R. Badiger on Sept.28 at 10.30am at the ACP’s office, Mahalakshmipuram, for questioning regarding the abduction bid of Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K.S. Eshwarappa’s personal assistant Vinay Bidre.
The notice was issued on Sept.20 under Section 91 of CrPC. According to the Police, N.R. Santosh, Yeddyurappa’s personal assistant and the prime suspect in the kidnap case, is the mastermind. The abduction occurred on May 11 over a CD which reportedly contained intimate scenes of Santosh with a model. Santosh decided to abduct Vinay as the latter had the CD and planned to release it.
A gang had intercepted Vinay’s car at Mahalakshmi Layout while he was returning home. The suspects attacked Vinay and tried to kidnap him, when Vinay raised an alarm, prompting passersby to rush to his rescue, following which the gang fled. Santosh had absconded after the complaint was filed and subsequently succeeded in obtaining a conditional anticipatory bail.
