The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed an FIR in connection with the mining scam against former Karnataka chief minister B. S. Yeddyurappa, his two sons and son-in-law, according to media.
Last week, the Supreme Court had ordered CBI to probe the allegations that Prerana Trust managed by Yeddyurappa’s immediate family members received a huge donation from the mining company favoured by him.
An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice S. H. Kapadia had also stayed all the proceedings relating to the matter before any court in Karnataka.
Pronouncing the verdict, Justice Swatanter Kumar said that upon completing the investigation the CBI will file its report before the competent court and that all agencies of the state will extend their cooperation to the investigating agency.
