BS Yeddyurappa acquittal: Anti Corruption Bureau says it cannot probe

In a letter to Reddy, the ACB has stated that it cannot register another FIR.

Bengaluru: The Anti Corruption Bureau, which was inquiring a petition by activist Ravi Krishna Reddy about the alleged corruption in acquittal of former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa in a corruption case by a CBI Court, has dropped the investigation of the case. Ravi Krishna Reddy, the President of Lanchamuktha Karnataka Nirmana Vedike, had written to the Chief Justice of India and others, stating the need for criminal investigation against CBI judge R. B. Dhamagoudar, who had acquitted Mr Yeddyurappa, and lawyer H.M. Siddharth, who was caught by the Vidhana Soudha security personnel while ferrying unaccounted cash of Rs 2 crore in his car on October 21, 2016. In a letter to Reddy, the ACB has stated that it cannot register another FIR as the Vidhana Soudha police have already registered an FIR in this connection.
