Bengaluru: The Lokayukta police on Tuesday June 23, registered two more FIRs against former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa in connection with the ongoing probe into the illegal denotification of land.

Lokayukta officials of the anti-corruption agency, who had filed 10 FIRs till Monday, registered two more FIRs taking the total to 12. One of the two FIRs registered on Tuesday is related to denotification of 2.23 acres of land in Thanisandra in Bengaluru East Taluk, while the other is on denotification of 2.1 acres of land in HBR Layout.

Lokayukta also specified that the FIRs have nothing to do with the present dispensation and that it is purely based on the findings of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India Report in 2012 – Denotification of land by government and allotment of sites by BDA.

Based on this report, Jayakumar Hiremath had filed a complaint with the Lokayukta in 2014. The case was referred to the CID for a preliminary inquiry. Now, based on the CID report that there were irregularities in denotification of lands, the Lokayukta police have started registering FIRs to initiate a detailed probe into the scam.

Yeddyurappa will have to undergo a series of grilling sessions by the Lokayukta sleuths. It is said that once the Lokayuka police, who are looking into 40 such cases, file all the FIRs, they will summon Mr Yeddyurappa to appear before them to record his statements. It will take a few days to record his statements, a Lokayukta official said.
