Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is set to appear before the Lokayukta police in Mysuru today in connection with an inquiry into alleged irregularities within the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam, according to ANI. The Lokayukta’s investigation was officially launched after a court order on 27 September instructed the agency to register an FIR in the case, as per ANI.

The case involves allegations that MUDA allocated 14 valuable sites worth an estimated Rs 56 crore to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi, under questionable circumstances. These sites, located in a prime area of Mysuru city, were allegedly allotted without following due legal processes, according to ANI.
