The alleged incident took place on Feb 2nd, 2024, when a 17-year-old girl with her mother had gone to Yediyurappa’s house to seek help in another rape case.
“I sought the formation of a special investigation team to investigate the matter. After hearing us, Yeduyirappa took her to the room and locked them inside. Little later he opened the door and my daughter came running, saying Yediyurappa sexually assaulted her,” the woman wrote in the complaint.
