Bangalore, Nov 26: The Lokayukta police today
submitted its final report on the Upper Bhadra scam involving
former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa.
Special Lokayukta Court Judge N K Sudhindra Rao had, on
October 26, granted one month time to Lokayukta police to
submit its final report in Upper Bhadra scam filed against
Yeddyurappa.
Following the submission of the final report, the Court
adjourned the hearing in the case to December 19.
Yeddyurappa is alleged to have received a Rs 13 crore
kickback for awarding the second stage Upper Bhadra Irrigation
project to a private firm, which was the highest bidder.
JDS Spokesperson Y S V Datta in his complaint had alleged
that R N S Jyoti firm was the highest bidder for the project,
quoting the cost at Rs 1,033 crore, and Yeddyurappa had
awarded the contract to it, ignoring the claims of the lowest
bidders.
The complaint alleged that as a quid pro quo, R N S Jyoti
firm transferred Rs 13 crore to Davalagiri Developers and
Sahyadri Healthcare, owned and managed by Yeddyurappa's sons
and son-in-law and Yeddyurappa was accused of abusing his
power as chief minister.
Yeddyurappa, however, has secured anticipatory bail from
the High Court in the Upper Bhadra case.
