Fresh complaint against Siddaramaiah alleging evidence destruction in Muda ‘scam’

A fresh complaint has been filed against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, accusing him of destroying evidence in connection with the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA.
The complaint also named the Chief Minister’s son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, as a partner in the alleged irregularities.
The fresh complaint against Siddaramaiah came days after the Lokayukta police registered an FIR against him, his wife Parvathi B M, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, and Devaraju — from whom Mallikarjuna Swamy purchased land and gifted it to Parvathi — and others, following a Special Court order on September 25.
The ED has also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by police, against the Chief Minister over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority).
In the MUDA site allotment case, it is alleged that 14 compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been “acquired” by MUDA.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts.
It is alleged that Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
