Yeddyurappa, family acquitted in illegal mining case
A special CBI court on Wednesday acquitted former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, along with his two sons and son-in-law, in a ₹40 crore illegal mining case. Yeddyurappa resigned from the CM's post in 2011 after the then Lokayukta indicted him in the case. He also spent about three weeks in jail, in connection with the case.
