ED Files Chargesheet Against Ex-MUDA Commissioner in Alleged Land-Allotment Scam

The filing focuses the money-laundering case on the former MUDA chief, following rulings that cleared the chief minister’s family.

Overview

  • The prosecution complaint under the PMLA was lodged on November 14 in the special court for MP/MLA cases in Bengaluru.
  • Investigators allege G. T. Dinesh Kumar enabled illegal allotment of compensation sites to ineligible beneficiaries using fake documents and back-dated letters.
  • The ED says bribes were routed through a cooperative society and relatives’ or associates’ bank accounts, with some sites purchased in relatives’ names.
  • Assets attached so far include 283 MUDA sites and three properties with a stated market value of about ₹450 crore.
  • The probe stems from a Lokayukta FIR, and earlier the Supreme Court and separate inquiries cleared the chief minister’s wife and family on related allegations.
