MUDA 50:50 sites scam: 23 MUDA sites allotted for just Rs. 3,000 each

Mysuru: A real estate entrepreneur has been illegally allotted 23 sites worth crores of rupees for just Rs. 3,000, though he did not own any land acquired to form layouts. The allotment was made through forged documents via a sale deed by former MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar.

Krishna highlighted that Additional Sub-Registrar Kavya caused a loss of crores of rupees to the State Government by registering sites worth crores of rupees for just Rs. 3,000 each, collecting a nominal registration fee of Rs. 600 per site.
According to the complaint filed with the Lokayukta, Dinesh Kumar, through MUDA Special Tahsildar Shivakumar, facilitated the registration of 23 premium sites measuring 30×40, 40×60, and 50×80 in Mysuru’s Vijayanagar and Dattagalli  Layouts, valued at crores of rupees, to real estate entrepreneur N. Manjunath.
The registrations occurred on April 5, 6, 18, and April 19, 2023. Each site, worth over Rs. 1 crore, was priced at just Rs. 3,000 by MUDA, the complaint stated.
