Denying the charge, Yediyurappa said the woman had been trying to meet him but was never allowed to enter his house.
"Once when she was crying, I called her inside my house and spoke to the Police Commissioner B Dayananda, that some injustice had happened to her. However, when she started speaking something against me in front of me, I concluded that this woman is not proper," he said.
After meeting the Police Commissioner, she gave a twist to the matter, Yediyurappa alleged.
"I heard that an FIR has been registered against me. I will do whatever has to be done legally but this also happens when one tries to help somebody," the BJP Parliamentary Board member said.
