ED Chargesheets Ex-MUDA Commissioner in Rs 450-Crore MUDA Laundering Case

Courts cleared the chief minister’s family, leaving investigators focused on alleged laundering through bogus allotments.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate filed its prosecution complaint on November 14 in the Bengaluru special court for MP/MLA cases against former MUDA commissioner G T Dinesh Kumar.
  • Investigators allege Kumar played an instrumental role in a scheme that funneled proceeds through a cooperative society and the bank accounts of relatives and associates.
  • The alleged method included picking ineligible beneficiaries, using fake or incomplete documents, violating government orders, and back‑dating allotment letters.
  • The agency has attached 283 MUDA sites and three other properties with an estimated market value of about Rs 450 crore.
  • Kumar was arrested in September and remains in judicial custody as the case, founded on a Karnataka Lokayukta FIR, proceeds after courts and inquiries cleared Siddaramaiah’s family.
