A special court here on Thursday rejected a complaint of alleged corruption against Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and eight others.The complaint was filed by TJ Abraham, president of the Anti-Graft and Environmental Forum, seeking an order for an investigation into alleged corruption by the CM and others.The complaint was filed against the CM, his son and BJP state vice-president B Y Vijayendra, grandson Shashidhar Maradi, son-in-law Virupakshappa Yamakanmaradi, besides Sanjay Sree, son-in-law of Yediyurappa’s daughter Padmavathi, Cooperation Minister ST Somashekar and others.
