MUDA 50:50 site scam: Lokayukta grills former MUDA Commissioner Dr. D.B. Natesh
Mysuru: Dr. D.B. Natesh, former Commissioner of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), appeared before the Lokayukta this morning for an inquiry related to the MUDA 50:50 site allotment scam. He attended the session armed with all relevant documents.
The case centres on the allocation of 14 prime sites in Vijayanagar 3rd and 4th Stages to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, B.M. Parvathi, in exchange for her 3.16-acre land at Survey No. 464 of Kesare. These allocations occurred during Natesh’s tenure as the MUDA Commissioner.
Last week, Lokayukta Police received clearance from the Karnataka Chief Secretary to investigate Natesh and summon him for questioning. With the State’s approval, Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh issued a notice to Natesh to appear at Lokayukta Office on Dewan’s Road in city.
Natesh, arriving at 11 am, attempted to avoid media attention by parking his private car on a different road and taking an auto-rickshaw to the office.
However, upon encountering a swarm of media personnel at the Lokayukta Office, Natesh lashed out at reporters, visibly irritated by their questioning and video recordings. “Am I dancing here? Do you have common sense?” he retorted angrily.
