Bengaluru: The Karnataka BJP will lodge a police complaint against Congress Spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala for his "baseless allegations" attributed to a diary allegedly belonging to former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, which the I-T department has dismissed as "forgery document".

The Congress had on Friday sought an investigation by the Lokpal into a media report that alleged bribes of Rs 1,800 crore were paid to the BJP top brass by Yeddyurappa.

The allegation was based on photocopies of BSY's purported diary, which was submitted to the I-T department on Saturday but was dismissed as a "forgery document" and a "set of loose papers".
