The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money laundering case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam. The central agency’s action follows a recent FIR filed by the state Lokayukta.
The ED filed an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against Siddaramaiah and others involved in the alleged scam, including his wife, BM Parvathi, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, and Devaraju, who initially sold the land to Swamy, which was later gifted to Parvathi. The case was registered after the Lokayukta police in Mysuru filed an FIR on September 27.
This development marks a significant escalation in the MUDA land scam investigation, as the central agency probes allegations of money laundering linked to the Karnataka CM and his family members.
