B. S. Yediyurappa Response

B. S. Yediyurappa denied the allegation and said, “The woman had attempted to meet me previously but never permitted entry. Once, when she was crying, I called her inside the house and spoke to Police Commissioner B. Dayananda, that some injustice had happened to her. However, then she started talking against me. I have brought this matter to the attention of the police commissioner. Yesterday, the police filed a complaint against me. Let’s see what happens next; I can’t say that there is a political motive behind this.”
