ED Summons MUDA Employees in Land Allotment Investigation

In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned six staff members of the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) as part of an ongoing investigation into a land allotment case. The summons was issued on Friday, instructing the employees to appear for questioning at the ED office in Bengaluru.

The ED’s investigation revolves around allegations concerning the allotment of land to Parvati, the wife of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Recently, the agency has intensified its scrutiny, conducting searches at both the MUDA office and the Mysuru Taluk office. These actions are part of a broader inquiry into the processes and decisions related to land allocations.

As part of their investigation, ED officials also carried out searches at the Kengeri residence of Devaraju, who is linked to the case as he sold land to Mallikarjun Swamy, Parvati’s brother. During these searches, the ED seized several important documents that are believed to be crucial to understanding the land allotment irregularities.

The summons to MUDA employees highlights the ED’s ongoing efforts to investigate potential corruption and ensure accountability in land dealings involving public officials. As the investigation unfolds, the outcomes may have significant implications for those involved, including high-ranking political figures and the integrity of the land allotment processes in the region.

The ED’s actions underscore the agency’s commitment to tackling corruption and maintaining transparency in government operations, particularly in matters related to public resources and land management. As the summoned employees prepare for questioning, further developments in the case are anticipated in the coming weeks.
