CM’s quizzing marks crucial stage in MUDA site scam probe
Mysuru: The questioning of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah by the Mysuru Lokayukta Police in connection with the allotment of 14 sites by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to his wife, B.M. Parvathi, marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation into the MUDA land allocation scam.
This comes a day after the High Court issued a significant order on a petition filed by social activist Snehamayi Krishna, who has been seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case.
The Court yesterday directed Mysuru Lokayukta to submit all investigation reports regarding the case, specifically requesting an update on progress of investigation conducted till Nov. 24. The Court will hear the case on Nov. 26.
Today’s inquiry, which centres on Siddaramaiah’s alleged misuse of power in the land allocation process, is crucial to the direction of the case. Snehamayi Krishna has expressed doubts about the integrity of the Lokayukta’s investigation, citing a lack of trust in the system.
