Accused J. Devaraju summoned by Lokayukta again
Siddaramaiah instructed MUDA not to approve allotment of 14 sites to his wife, says D. Dhruvakumar, former MUDA Chairman
Mysuru: The Lokayukta investigation into the MUDA site scam has reached a crucial phase, investigating key players involved in the case. A fresh notice has been issued to J. Devaraju, the fourth accused, summoning him for a second round of questioning tomorrow.
Devaraju, the original owner of the 3.16-acre land at Survey No. 464 in Kesare, sold the property to B.M. Mallikarjunaswamy, brother-in-law of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. This transaction paved the way for CM’s wife, B.M. Parvathi, to acquire 14 premium sites in Vijayanagar 3rd and 4th Stages under MUDA’s controversial 50:50 scheme.
Accused No. 4 Devaraju had earlier appeared before the Lokayukta Police for questioning on Oct. 10, 2024, alongside Mallikarjunaswamy, who is listed as Accused No. 3 in the case.
Meanwhile, notices have also been issued to former MUDA Commissioner P.S. Kantharaju and former MUDA Chairman D. Dhruvakumar, a close associate of CM Siddaramaiah. Responding to the notice, Dhruvakumar appeared before the Lokayukta Police this morning.
