A magistrate's court in the Chief Minister's home district of Shimoga has ordered a fresh police report, by March 31, into the death of Yeddyurappa's wife under mysterious circumstances at their home in Shimoga on October 16, 2004.
The magistrate court directive has come on the basis of a complaint filed by an advocate, R Sheshadri, who has raised questions about how an adult could have slipped into an underground water sump with a narrow opening while trying to fetch water.
At the time of his wife's death Yeddyurappa was the Opposition leader in Karnataka.
The case had been closed after the police had during its investigations in 2004 found no cause to believe that there was any foul play. Sheshadri has in his complaint said the death occurred after Yeddyurappa assaulted his wife after an argument resulting in her death.
The advocate has in his complaint sought proceedings against Yeddyurappa, his daughter, two sons and family servants on charges of murder, fabrication of evidence and preventing Government servants from discharging their duty.
The complainant has stated that Yeddyurappa attended official functions on the day despite the news of his wife's death and claimed Government re-imbursements.
The Judicial Magistrate First Class at the Shimoga court, S N Kalkali, ordered the fresh probe and report.
The Chief Minister termed the case the "biggest crisis of his life" during a visit to Shimoga on Sunday. He said he was ready to face it.

MR HERO VAZ THE CASE IS SUBJUDICE DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE SONIA,RAHUL OR FATHER ANDREW
What a man could contest elections and even become a CM !!!
It is important to state that the Sangh Parivar has no respect for women. It is a party of the racial pure male. What that purity means is totally another question. A party that justifies sati, beats up women in the pretext of pub culture, considers them as mere mothers confined to homes in the re-writing of history is unlikely to honour womenhood. In the public realm, people of Karnataka hold the Chief Minister responsible for the death of his wife. He had found another woman and he may not have found his wife good enough for him. This is the respect BJP has for women. They would like women to be Sitas of Ramayana who are willing to be subordinated. It is a pity that law could be used to wrong the right.
the guy who made above comment must be one of those owners of pubs that do not have proper licenses and still serve liquor to the society. When liquor is already destroying wide segment of society by enslaving men, people of this kind are trying to enslave women so that they can exploit them. And also Amrit Rao refuses to move on from centuries old sati, casteism , untouchability and still peevishly complains about those to cover up his weakness, laziness
Political enemity is taking dirty turns. Shri Yedyurappa is the modest leader of Karnataka politics. So was his personal life. Fate deprived him of his dear wife and now cruelty haunting him from political platform.
As per the story here, a 498a with 302 IPC should have been registered against the husband first thing.. Even possibly a 304B IPC (Dowry Death).Then whatever may be the outcome after investigation...Above is the case with any stupid common man if his wife dies of any XYZ reason.Did this not happen just because he is a Politician of repute?
The leftist and secular (that is, anti-Hindu) weirdos will do and say anything to pursue their anti-people agenda. It is such a shame that the Congress stooges are now stooping so low. But then, look at the level of politics played in Italy. India has been better, but is being dragged down to the same level.
" BSY" BEING LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION COULD MANAGE THE POLICE INVESTIGATION, NOW HE IS C.M., MORE POWERFUL HE WOULD POSSIBILY BE ABLE TO GEOPERDISE ALL ATTEMPTS OF THE COURT / POLICE AND NOTHING WILL COME OUT AFTER LAPSE OF LONG 5 YEARS. IN TODAY'S SCENARIO FOR POLITICIANS ITS " MIGHT IS RIGHT ". HOWEVER, WHAT MS. UMADEVI SAYS ON THIS EPISODE ? SHE IS A UP RIHT PERSON AND HAVING COURAGE TO CALL SPADE A SPADE.
I think the BJP is being targetted. On this basis we can open probes on AJit Jogi's daughter's death, Jyothiradity Scindia father's death, Sachin Pilot's father death and so on..
THESE ARE THE KINDS OF NETAs WE HAVE WHO ARE WEARING SHEEP'S CLOTHING AND ACTING AS FOXES. THIS IS THE CM WHO IS TALKING ABOUT CULTURE BUT ACTS LIKE A RAVANA. IT IS THE MISFORTUNE OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR VOTERS THAT THESE ARE THE NETAs WE ELECT! MERA BHARAT MAHAN, JAHAN RAVAN KARTE HAI RAM KI BAAT!
Yeddyurappa has been yedding everyone who so ever comes his way. The man is not reliable but a planted BJP cartoon.
I am very surprised at the wholly unprincipled tendency of media, backed
Yediyurappa, killing ones own wife is ruthless. You can't do it. You have to conduct a fresh inquiry on this subject. Let the truth comes out. We are with you, Yediyurappa.
Let us encourage media to fabricate and propagate issues like this against Yeddurappa. N.Modi also faced this and in one way those boosted his strenght but God was with him and he could overcome all those and now everybody is competeing to praise him..so wish you all sucess Mr.Yeddurappa...
Who told that mr.Yeddurappa is worriying? If he is worrying that may be because of his opponents inhuman acts.....ACTUALLY THE PSEUDO SECULARISTS AND UGLY POLITICIANS AND THEIR FEET LICKING MEDIA WORRIED ABOUT bjp RULE IN KARNATAKA
The commnets of yours shows that u and the BJP Camp is worrying. "Politics is a Dirty Game" it was rightly said by our Great Leader of Past...
Face is index of his mind.i am really agree with an advocate, R Sheshadri, who has raised questions about how his wife could have slipped into an underground water sump ?? with a narrow opening -Well Planned Murder-This case should give it to CBIand afterwards Karnataka people will come know who ,What and How Yeddyurappa is ?Yeddyurappa attended official functions on the day despite the news of his wife's death-Because he is aware of his wifes'death-Most probabally in my view he is womanizer
The Truth will prevail. They are behind BJP/RSS
Like this is the only blemish in Yeddyur's resume. These politicians are generally cold blooded killers. It is quite obvious how Yeddyur's wife died. It was no accident or suicide. In developed countries such perpetrators would be prosecuted irresepective of their political clout. But in countries like India anything goes as far as politicians and celebrities are concerned.
Dear Mr. Yeddiurappa:If there is nothing to hide who do you worry !!! Just don't hurry to jump into personal vendetta actions against individuals throwing allegations against you in this case- Just be merry and don't worry if at all you have nothing to hide from the public in this case.
So Indian express started another assault against BJP leaders after TOI and NDTV.let us see how our "secular" media fabricating stories.
this is a political case, created by polticians against a politician--toomuch to publicise---what happens to such several cases in his city/state and country it is not of any interest to mr seshadri advocate---who has pationce to wait for 4 years to dig the case at opportune time?
