MUDA 50:50 site allotment scam: Original records of six 40×60 sites in Devanur 3rd Stage go missing

Included in 100 files taken by Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh in a helicopter: MUDA staff
Mysuru: Even as the probe into massive corruption in Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land deals has intensified, critical documents tied to sites approved under the 50:50 scheme are vanishing without a trace from MUDA’s record room.
Under the spotlight were the 14 MUDA sites in Vijayanagar 3rd and 4th Stages, worth crores of rupees, initially allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, B.M. Parvathi. Though these sites have been voluntarily returned to MUDA, the original documents related to other 50:50 transactions have mysteriously disappeared.
Even more alarming, the ‘file tracking records’ that should account for the movement of these documents from one section to another have also vanished, fuelling suspicions and raising serious questions.
Complaint on Sept. 5, 2024
Real estate and RERA analyst, as well as social activist M.D. Adish Sagar, lodged a formal complaint on Sept. 5, 2024, with MUDA Chairman K. Marigowda and Commissioner A.N. Raghunandan, urging immediate action to report the disappearance of original site documents to the Police and lodge a criminal case.
