Non-bailable warrant issued against Karnataka forest minister
CP Yogeshwar failed to appear before the court over a cheating case filed against him.
The special court for economic offences on Friday issued a non-bailable warrant against forest minister CP Yogeshwar after he failed to appear before the court over a cheating case filed against him. The court directed the police to produce him for the next hearing.
The serious fraud investigation office (SFIO) had filed six criminal cases against Yogeshwar and his family members, accusing them of collecting a huge amount of money from the public for sites in a residential township project promoted by him and subsequently not handing over the sites to the investors or refunding their money. The SFIO investigated the case of largescale fraud and cheating of investors by Mega City Builders and Developers Ltd, a real estate company owned by Yogeshwar.
