Bengaluru: N R Santhosh, personal assistant of state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa, is charged with attempting to kidnap Vinay Kumar, a close aide of K S Eshwarappa.

The assistant commissioner of police submitted a voluminous 760-page charge sheet to the 7th additional chief metropolitan magistrate on Wednesday.

Other accused are Rajendra Urs, the general secretary of the BJP’s Yuva Morcha, Bengaluru unit, and history-sheeter Prashanth.

The FIR was registered at the Mahalakshmi Layout police station. The charge sheet contains many documents and the call detail record that reportedly nail Santhosh. Police intend to submit a secondary charge sheet to furnish more information.
