Mysuru: The Lokayukta police probing the MUDA scam on Thursday questioned Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy and another accused J Devaraju, sources said.
They were questioned for nearly seven hours, and they left around 8.30 pm, it said.
The Lokayukta police registered a case on September 27 against Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi B M, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, Devaraju – from whom Mallikarjuna Swamy purchased land and gifted it to her – and others, following a Special Court order on September 25.
The order came a day after the High Court upheld the sanction granted by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to investigate Siddaramaiah.
The ED has also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to a police FIR, against the chief minister over the alleged irregularities in allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA.
The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) on October 1 decided to take back the 14 plots allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife, following her decision to relinquish their ownership and possession.
