High Court orders no arrest for former CM BS Yediyurappa in sexual harassment case
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has ordered that former Chief Minister BS Yeddiyurappa not be arrested in connection with allegations of sexually harassing a minor girl. This decision came during the hearing of Yeddyurappa's anticipatory bail application.
The court ruled that Yeddiyurappa should not be arrested until the next hearing and instructed him to cooperate with the ongoing police inquiry. This move provides temporary relief to Yeddyurappa, who was under threat of arrest following the non-bailable warrant obtained by the police.
Yeddyurappa, facing potential arrest, had filed an application seeking a stay on the warrant. The High Court's directive means that while he must attend the police inquiry, he will not be taken into custody at this time.
