Former Karnataka chief ministers HD Kumaraswamy and BS Yediyurappa have been accused of acting in concert to denotify land in the name of three dead persons by a Kannada news website Eedina.
According to the website Eedina.com, a plot of 1.11 acres in the Ganga Nagar locality (previously Gangenhalli) in Bengaluru, which was acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) underwent suspicious de-notification, ending up with the brother-in-law of Kumaraswamy TS Channappa in July 2010. Yediyurappa had allegedly ordered the de-notification in June 2008.
Thanks to a complaint by Right To Information (RTI) activist Jayakumar Hiremath on April 30, 2015, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Kumaraswamy, Yediyurappa, the mother-in-law of Kumaraswamy Vimala and Channappa and alleged "benami" (false name) applicant Rajashekharaiah under the Prevention of Corruption Act and sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
