Former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday got here down closely on the Lingayat seer accused of rape, Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, saying that the seer has dedicated an “unpardonable” crime.
Yediyurappa advised reporters within the Udupi district of Karnataka that he didn’t anticipate the seer to stoop so low. “All ought to condemn it and the Chitradurga Mutt seer ought to get stringent punishment,” he stated.
Yediyurappa was amongst those that defended the seer when rape costs had been first levelled on the seer. “It’s a false cost. There isn’t any fact in it and after the completion of the investigation, he’ll come out clear,” the senior BJP chief stated on August 28.
Yediyurappa’s contemporary stand on the seer got here a day after the investigation staff filed a cost sheet revealing stunning particulars in regards to the alleged sexual assault of younger ladies.
In its 694-page cost sheet, the investigation staff headed by deputy superintendent of police B Anil alleged that the hostel warden, Rashmi, despatched ladies to the seer’s room each night time the place he allegedly touched them appropriately, gave them apples laced with sedatives and allegedly raped them.
Chitradurga superintendent of police (SP) Ok Parashuram stated the seer usually went for orphans or youngsters of poor mother and father who he helped financially. Based on the cost sheet, he’s alleged to have assaulted 10-15 younger ladies.
The 64-year-old former pontiff of Jagadguru Murugarajendra Vidyapeetha Mutt has denied the sexual assault costs throughout his interrogation by the police.
