Yeddyurappa, Others Acquitted in Rs 40-Crore Mining Bribery Case

Yeddyurappa’s acquittal can be seen as a huge personal victory for him and the BJP in Karnataka.

On Wednesday, a CBI special court acquitted former Karnataka chief minister and state BJP president BS Yeddyurappa and all others in the Rs 40-crore mining bribery case.

Yeddyurappa, his two sons, a son-in-law, steel major JSW Steel and four Bellary-based JSW Steel affiliates were accused of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery and corruption in the case.
