Swinging into action a day after filing an FIR against former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa in connection with illegal mining, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials on Wednesday conducted simultaneous raids at the senior BJP leader’s residences here and in some other places in the state.

A joint team of CBI officials from Hyderabad and Bangalore also raided residences of Mr. Yeddyurappa’s sons B Y Raghavendra, MP, and B Y Vijayendra as also his son-in-law R N Sohan Kumar here and their home district Shimoga, police sources said.

A nine-member team headed by Inspector General of CBI Lakshminarayana commenced the raids at Mr. Yeddyurappa’s residences in Dollars Colony and Race Course Road here besides a firm owned by one of his sons, the sources told PTI.

The raids come in the wake of the CBI registering a case against Mr. Yeddyurappa and others in line with the May 11 Supreme Court directive ordering a probe by the central agency into alleged undue favours shown by him to firms involved in illegal mining in lieu of donations to a charitable trust run by his kin when he was the chief minister.

The raids began at 6.15 a.m. and would continue throughout the day, the sources said.

The CBI action comes at a time when Mr. Yeddyurappa is facing the heat of internal turmoil in the BJP triggered by a revolt by his loyalists gunning for a change of leadership of D V Sadananda Gowda with nine ministers and many MLAs submitting their resignations to him.

After aggressive postures that pushed the BJP’s first ever government in the south to the brink, Mr. Yeddyurappa on Monday said he had decided to quit the party but was putting it off heeding the advise of party senior leader Arun Jaitely and others.

Mr. Yeddyurappa, who was forced to quit last year after the Lokayukta report indictment on illegal mining, is also battling a spate of cases for alleged irregularities in land denotification.
