Lokayukta Questions Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah For Nearly 2 Hours

Siddaramaiah

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Wednesday was questioned by the police wing of the Lokayukta for around two hours in connection with alleged irregularities in the allotment of compensatory housing sites to his wife by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), reported the Scroll.

The report further said that the CM Siddaramaiah arrived at the Lokayukta police office in the city and was questioned from 10.10 a.m. to 12.05 p.m.

What Is The MUDA Scam?

The alleged MUDA scam focuses on the value of land allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi, in a prime area of Mysuru as compensation for land elsewhere taken for infra development. The allegation is that the value of land allotted grossly – by ₹ 4,000 to ₹ 5,000 crore – exceeds that taken.

Vinesh Phogat On WFI Row: Our Fight Will Continue, Truth Will Prevail

News Desk

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat said her fight against the Wrestling Federation of India will continue and hoped “truth will prevail”. Phogat returned to a rousing reception in India on Saturday following her disqualification from the 2024 Paris Olympics as she was found overweight by a few grams. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) subsequently rejected Phogat’s plea for a shared silver. In 2023, Phogat along with Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik had protested on the streets of Delhi, accusing then WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment of women wrestlers.
