Yeddyurappa,who is currently lodged in the Central prison at Parappana Agrahara on the city outskirts,has already filed a plea for regular bail in two cases.

Special Lokayukta Judge N K Sudhindra Rao had on October 15 rejected his bail plea in regard to these two cases and remanded him to judicial custody — first to October 22 and later extending it till November 3.
