MUDA 50:50 site scam investigation:Fresh plaint to Governoron missing documents
Lokayukta officers accused of deliberately slowing down probe by bowing to political pressure
Mysuru: The ongoing Lokayukta investigation into MUDA site scam has taken a new twist, with Lokayukta officials being accused of deliberately slowing down probe under pressure from influential figures in State Government.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his wife B.M. Parvathi, brother-in-law B.M. Mallikarjunaswamy, landowner J. Devaraju and others are accused in the case. The controversy centres on a 3.16-acre plot in Kesare owned by Parvathi, for which she allegedly secured 14 prime sites in Vijayanagar. Though the 14 sites have since been returned, the investigation is still underway.
RTI activist Gangaraju has lodged a formal complaint with Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, alleging delays in issuing search warrants.
The complaint was filed via email and post, accusing some Lokayukta officials of leaking crucial information to people in power, allowing Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh, through his Special Officer Maruti Bagali to retrieve key documents and take them to Bengaluru.
