Following the Karnataka High Court's decision to restrain the CID from arresting former chief minister B S Yediyurappa in a POCSO case, his son and State BJP President B Y Vijayendra expressed his belief that truth will prevail in the "temple of justice." He also reiterated his father's commitment to abide by the law and face the probe. This comes after a non-bailable arrest warrant was issued against Yediyurappa by a Bengaluru court on Thursday, which he had requested for more time to join the investigation.
The Supreme Court has upheld the Calcutta High Court's order for a CBI investigation into allegations of sexual assault and land grab against suspended TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan in the Sandeshkhali case. The court has also criticized the West Bengal government for protecting the accused and questioned their interest. This incident came to light when ED officials were attacked by Shahjahan's followers during their investigation in the ration distribution scam. Protests erupted when a group of women accused Shahjahan and his aides of sexual abuse and land grabbing.
