Complainant of MUDA 'scam' files caveat on Guv's prosecution sanction order against Siddaramaiah

BENGALURU: One of the complainants in the MUDA 'scam' case on Saturday filed a caveat in the Karnataka High Court after Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot granted permission to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

It is alleged that the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) 'scam' pertains to the compensatory sites allotment to Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA.

The opposition cried foul and three activists lodged a complaint with Gehlot, accusing the CM of 'misusing' his position.
