Swinging into action a day after filing an FIR against former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa in connection with illegal mining, CBI officials today conducted simultaneous raids at the senior BJP leader's residences here and in some other places in the state.
A joint team of CBI officials from Hyderabad and Bangalore also raided residences of Yeddyurappa's sons B Y Raghavendra, MP, and B Y Vijayendra as also his son-in-law R N Sohan Kumar here and their home district Shimoga, police sources said. A nine-member team headed by Inspector General of CBI Lakshminarayana commenced the raids at Yeddyurappa's residences in Dollars Colony and Race Course Road here besides a firm owned by one of his sons, the sources told PTI.u00a0
The raids come in the wake of the CBI registering a case against Yeddyurappa and others in line with the May 11 Supreme Court directive ordering a probe by the central agency into alleged undue favours shown by him to firms involved in illegal mining in lieu of donations to a charitable trust run by his kin when he was the chief minister.
