Last Updated 22 November 2017, 19:53 IST

N R Santhosh, a relative and personal assistant of state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa, is among 12 people charged by the police with attempting to kidnap  Vinay Kumar, a close aide of the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, K S Eshwarappa.

The assistant commissioner of police (Malleswaram) 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.  

The attempted kidnap is said to be the fallout of personal rivalry between Santhosh and  Kumar.

The latter reportedly had a CD that  contained a video showing Santhosh in a compromising position with a female model. The woman  handed over the CD to Kumar after her relationship with Santhosh soured.
