MUDA 50:50 site scam: Lokayukta Police question Raichur MP G. Kumar Naik
Mysuru: Former bureaucrat and current Raichur MP G. Kumar Naik, who had earlier served as the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Mysuru, was questioned for over two hours by Lokayukta Superintendent of Police T.J. Udesh yesterday from 12.30 pm, regarding the ongoing probe into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam.
Kumar Naik, during his tenure as Mysuru DC from 2002 to 2005, is alleged to have facilitated the conversion of 3 acres and 16 guntas of land in Survey Number 464 of Kesare. This land was purchased by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s brother-in-law, B.M. Mallikarjunaswamy, from J. Devaraju and later gifted to his sister B.M. Parvathi, CM’s wife.
In exchange for this land, Parvathi got 14 sites in Vijayanagar Third and Fourth Stages under MUDA’s controversial 50:50 ratio scheme.
Submissions before High Court
Social activist Snehamayi Krishna termed this land conversion (anyakrantha) as illegal and had submitted documents to High Court following which the Court directed the Mysuru Lokayukta SP to investigate.
