MUDA 50:50 site scam: Place, date, time to question CM, wife not decided: Lokayukta SP

Mysuru: Mysuru Lokayukta Superintendent of Police T.J. Udesh has said that the location for the interrogation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his wife B.M. Parvathi — both embroiled in the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) site allotment case — remains uncertain. He emphasised that decisions regarding their questioning will only be made once formal summons or notices are issued.
The Lokayukta is faced with a critical choice: To interrogate Siddaramaiah at the Lokayukta office or due to his position as Chief Minister, visit his office.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, Udesh revealed that investigators are actively gathering evidence, but the timeline for issuing summons to Siddaramaiah and Parvathi is not decided. “It could happen as early as tomorrow or take up to 20 days,” he added.
CM Siddaramaiah has been named accused 1 (A1) and Parvathi as accused 2 (A2). The uncertainty surrounding their imminent interrogation grants temporary reprieve to both, yet it poses significant challenges for Lokayukta officials, who are struggling to compile essential documents needed for the investigation.
