Bengaluru: The Devadurga police registered an FIR against former CM BS Yeddyurappa, MLAs K Shivanagowda, and Preetham J Gowda and another person in connection with the audio gate which rocked the state.
The FIR has been registered under various sections of the anti-corruption law.
The FIR has been registered based on the complaint lodged by Sharana Gowda, son of Nagana Gowda, MLA, Gurumitkal.
Sharana Gowda, in his complaint, alleged that BSY and three others offered him a bribe to ensure that his father will quit the JDS and join the saffron brigade. He handed over the copy of audio clipping as the proof.
With police registering FIR and naming BS Yeddyurappa as the accused no 1, he is now facing a fear of arrest. He is likely to move state High Court seeking quashing of FIR.
