The investigation revealed that GT Dinesh Kumar, the former MUDA commissioner, allegedly misused his position to allot sites illegally to relatives and close associates. The proceeds from these transactions were reportedly used to acquire properties in the names of these individuals.
Further inquiries indicated that several MUDA sites were also allocated as compensation to real estate businessmen, who later sold them for substantial profits, generating unaccounted money. The probe has extended to include Karnataka Chief Minister Shri Siddaramaiah and his wife, BM Parvathi. The ED alleges that 14 sites were secured in Parvathi's name as compensation for land acquired by MUDA, allegedly with Siddaramaiah's influence.
This action follows earlier steps by the ED, which had attached 92 properties worth INR 100 crore in June, raising the total attached assets in the MUDA scam to over INR 540 crore. The ongoing investigation is focused on dismantling the network of illegal allotments and recovering the proceeds of these transactions. Authorities continue to scrutinize all beneficiaries of MUDA sites and are working to ensure that assets obtained through fraudulent means are traced and confiscated.
