Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 14 (HBTV): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Friday said that a non-bail warrant has been issued against former chief minister B S Yediyurappa in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a minor girl. It is being reported that police are set to bring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader in for questioning in the case. 

According to Parameshwara, Yediyurappa is currently believed to be in Delhi and has indicated that he will return on June 17, Monday, and further action would be taken.  

Yediyurappa was on Thursday issued a non-bail warrant under the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a minor girl. 

"A warrant has been issued for Yediyurappa. Police will bring him along with them and get all the information related to the case. Then legal action will be taken. There is information that he is in Delhi. He said he would come on Monday, 16th June," Parameshwara told reporters on Friday.  

Meanwhile, the BJP has alleged a conspiracy by the Congress in the case to divert attention from a corruption case involving Minister B Nagendra.

Talking to reporters in Hubli, BJP MLA Mahesh Tenginkai said, "It looks like a part of a conspiracy by Congress but BS Yediyurappa will come out clean from this case."  

Karnataka BJP had yesterday posted on its X handle: "Shocked by the humiliating defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress leaders are engrossed in hatching one conspiracy after another against the BJP."
