Mysuru: In the case against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others related to MUDA, the Lokayukta police in Mysuru issued notices to B V Mallikarjuna Swami, the third accused and brother-in-law of Siddaramaiah and fourth accused, J Devaraju, who had sold the land.
The Lokayukta police summoned both of them on Thursday, to reportedly inquire about how the land was obtained and sold.
They are investigating the case, based on an FIR filed against Siddaramaiah and others on September 27.
On September 25, a special court in Bengaluru for cases involving elected representatives directed the jurisdictional Lokayukta police in Mysuru to initiate an investigation against Siddaramaiah and others on the basis of a complaint filed by Mysuru-based RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna.
