A CBI special court has issued summons to former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, his kin and others in a graft case related to a mining scam case during his tenure from 2008 to 2011, a senior official said Wednesday.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge Venkata Sundarshan, who issued the summons Nov 16, directed Yeddyurappa, his sons B.Y. Raghavendra and B.Y. Vijayendra, son-in-law R.N. Sohan Kumar, former minister Krishnaiah Shetty and eight others, including chief executive and vice-president of a steel company in Bellary to appear in court Dec 10.

‘All the accused have to be present in the special court Dec 10 for cross-examination and further interrogation,’ the official on conditions of anonymity.
The summons was issued on the basis of the chargesheet the federal investigation agency filed in its special court Oct 16 against the accused.
