Mid the ongoing investigation by the Karnataka Lokayukta and Enforcement Directorate (ED) into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam, a civil petition has been filed in the local court against CM Siddaramaiah's wife D.M. Parvathi and 11 others in connection with the ownership of the land gifted to her.
The petition was filed in front of the Seventh Additional Senior Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) in Mysuru by Jamuna, niece of the fourth accused in the MUDA scam and land owner J. Deveraju. Jamuna is the daughter of Devaraju's elder brother Mylaraiah.
Jamuna has stated in her petition that the land gifted to CM Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathy does not belong to Devaraju. She claimed that her father, the late Mylaraiah, was the real owner. CM's brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy had purchased the land from Devaraju and gifted it to his sister, CM's wife Parvathi.
