MUDA SCAM: ED conducts searches on former commissioners & builder in Bengaluru, Mysuru & Mandya
Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru as part of investigations into money-laundering arising from the alleged scam in the allotment of housing plots in Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
The agency targeted builders and officials after its preliminary inquiries led the sleuths to them. Sections of political leaders had alleged the scam was worth thousands of crores while calling for high-level investigations.
The ED’s Monday raids covered a builder and two former commissioners at MUDA, among others.
The agency had, on October 18, conducted searches at the MUDA office in Mysuru two weeks after registering an enforcement case information report (ECIR) into the complaints of widespread irregularities in the government body in the allotment of pricey housing plots.
MUDA is an arm of the government which acquires land from private landowners, forms housing layouts and, allots them to applicants based on their seniority as part of a broader mandate to ensure orderly growth of the city. Things came to a head for the Congress regime after allegations swirled that hundreds of people unlawfully benefited from the MUDA’s ad hoc policies that had no sanction of law.
