The State government has handed over the case against former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, registered under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) on Thursday, to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The order was issued by Director-General & Inspector-General of Police Alok Mohan on Friday afternoon, but the case is yet to be handed over to the CID.
This decision came hours after Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed that the city police had registered a case against the former Chief Minister.
