Janardhana Reddy visits Yeddyurappa's residence: Significant discussion takes place
Bengaluru, Nov 17: Former Minister Janardhana Reddy, who has recently been released on bail in connection with the Ambident fraud case, visited BJP state President BS Yeddyurappa at the latter's residence today.
Janardhana Reddy, who visited the Yeddyurappa's residence in Dollars Colony, discussed with him for about half an hour despite the BJP national leaders' advise that the state BJP leaders should not share dais with Janardhana Reddy, who had been imprisoned for alleged illegal mining.
"I have no connection with the Ambident case. In spite of that, the state government pressured the police to file a false case against me," Janardhan Reddy said. He has reportedly requested the party to stand by him during these crises.
"I came forward to work on behalf of the BJP during the previous Assembly polls. But I was hurt when the BJP National President Amit Shah stated that the party had no connection with Janardhana Reddy," he added.
It is learnt that Yeddyurappa has given Janardhana Reddy an assurance that the party will cooperate as much as possible.

Probe into Zubeen Garg's death ongoing, no foul play suspected yet: Singapore police
Singapore (PTI): Investigations into the death of singer Zubeen Garg are ongoing but so far no foul play is suspected, Singapore police have said.
Garg died under mysterious circumstances while swimming in the sea in Singapore on September 19.
The case is currently still being investigated by the Singapore Police Force (SPF), in accordance with the Singapore Coroners Act 2010, the police said on Thursday.
“Based on our investigations so far, the SPF does not suspect foul play in the death of Garg,” said the statement.

Upon completion of the investigations, the findings will be submitted to the State Coroner in Singapore, who will hold a Coroner’s Inquiry (CI), currently scheduled for January and February 2026.
A CI is a fact-finding process led by the Coroner to establish the cause and circumstances of death. Its findings will be made public upon conclusion, said the SPF.
Singapore police are committed to conducting a thorough and professional investigation into the case, it said.
“We seek the patience and understanding of the parties involved. Meanwhile, we urge the public not to speculate and spread unverified information,” said SPF.
A Special Investigation Team probing Garg's death charged four accused, including the singer’s secretary Siddhartha Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, with murder in a chargesheet filed in a court in India last week.
Garg was due to perform at the 4th Northeast India Festival at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 20.
