The woman was trying to meet: Yediyurappa
Rejecting the allegation, Yediyurappa said that the woman was trying to meet him, but was not allowed to enter his house. He said, when she was crying, I called her to my house and met Police Commissioner B. Talked to Dayanand that some injustice had happened to him. However, when she started speaking against me in front of me, I concluded that this woman is not right. Yediyurappa alleged that after meeting the Police Commissioner, the woman gave a different color to the matter.
