By The Assam Tribune

BENGALURU, Oct 26 - In a major relief for BS Yeddyurappa, a special CBI Court today acquitted the former Karnataka Chief Minister, his two sons, son-in-law and nine others in a corruption case, giving a boost to the political fortunes of the BJP leader ahead of 2018 Assembly polls.

The corruption case related to illegal mining in Bellary that allegedly involved a bribery amount of Rs 40 crore.

Pronouncing the judgement in a jampacked court hall, Judge RB Dharmagouder exonerated all the 13 accused in the case, stating the prosecution had failed to establish their guilt under the Prevention of Corruption Act and Indian Penal Code. � PTI
