ED Raids MUDA Office; Key Documents Missing

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) continued its raids at the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) office on Saturday as part of an investigation into a land scam linked to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Sources indicate that the ED’s search may intensify, as crucial documents regarding land ownership, denotification, and conversion are reportedly missing.

To ensure security, personnel from the Central Reserve Protection Force (CRPF) and local police were deployed at the MUDA office. The main entrance was locked, allowing access only to MUDA officials, security staff, and ED agents.

Following instructions from ED officials, MUDA Commissioner Raghunandan A. N. and senior officers arrived early in the morning. The ED conducted searches and inspections until 11 p.m. on Friday. During this time, they questioned Commissioner Raghunandan and other senior officials about original documents pertaining to land ownership and allotment to Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathy.

According to reports, significant documents related to land allocated to Parvathy dating back to 1992 are missing. When asked about this, Commissioner Raghunandan stated that he had recently taken charge of MUDA and was unaware of the situation.

In a related development, the ED also raided the residence of J. Devaraju, the landowner and fourth accused in the MUDA scam, in Kengeri, Bengaluru, until midnight on Friday. Approximately 20 officers verified documents at the MUDA office.

Furthermore, sources suggest that the ED may soon raid CM Siddaramaiah’s residence to question him and his wife, Parvathy, who are the first and second accused in the case.

Complainant Snehamayi Krishna welcomed the raids, expressing confidence that once the ED secures the missing documents, the charges against the accused will be revealed.
