Divya Delhi: Official sources said the Enforcement Directorate searched the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA)-linked money laundering case in which it booked Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his family, and others . The sources said federal investigative agency personnel and CRPF escorts are raiding the MUDA office in Mysuru and other locations. They said the CM and his family's properties aren't insured. Sources say ED officers are reviewing MUDA documents at the Mysuru office with authorities. They may seize required papers during their inquiry. The federal agency filed an ECIR to book the CM and others following a Lokayukta FIR a few weeks ago.Siddaramaiah faces Lokayukta and ED probes into MUDA anomalies in allocating 14 sites to his wife. The two investigating agencies also listed Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi B M, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, Devaraju, who gave Parvathi land, and others as suspects. MUDA allegedly allocated Siddaramaiah's wife 14 compensation sites in Vijayanagar Layout 3rd and 4th stages, an affluent suburb in Mysuru with higher property values than her land, which had been "acquired" by MUDA. Parvathi received 50:50 plots from the MUDA in exchange for 3.16 acres of her land, where it created a residential layout. MUDA gave land losers 50% of built property in exchange for undeveloped land they had to give up for residential layouts under the contentious scheme.
