Three other people have also been named in the chargesheet. They are accused of destroying evidence.
In fresh trouble for former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa, the state police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has filed a chargesheet naming him and three others in a case filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The BJP leader is accused of touching a 17-year-old girl inappropriately when she and her mother went to meet him at his house earlier this year to seek his help in a case of an assault on her in 2015. The survivor's mother had filed a case under POCSO in March.
After the mother died of cancer in May, the brother of the survivor approached the Karnataka High Court and complained that there had been no progress in the investigation.
