Bengaluru: The complainant in a case filed against former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa (BSY) under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, has died of respiratory related health issue at a private hospital near Hulimavu in city on Sunday.
The 53-year-old complainant in the case, had accused Yediyurappa of sexually assaulting her 17-year-old minor daughter, when the duo had been to the BJP strongman’s house on Feb. 2 this year. The mother and daughter had gone to Yediyurappa’s residence in Dollars Colony seeking his help to exert pressure on the State Government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the complaint of sexual assault of the girl by a relative. Yediyurappa had spoken to the woman and her daughter for nine minutes only to console them. However, after a few days, in March this year, she had filed a complaint against Yediyurappa only (which is being probed by Criminal Investigation Department (CID)).
