CM Siddaramaiah's wife announces surrendering of compensatory sites received from MUDA
Bengaluru: Hours after the Enforcement Directorate lodged a case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his wife BM Parvati on Monday in a letter announced about returning the compensatory land sites received from the Mysuru Urban Development Authority.
It is worth noting that BM Parvati is also the accused in a money-laundering case linked to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
In a letter addressed to the authority, BM Parvathi expressed her intent to return the 14 plots, emphasizing that the dignity and honor of her family were far more important to her than wealth. “I have not discussed this with my husband, son, or any family member,” she wrote.
According to reports, The Enforcement Directorate has filed an enforcement case information report (ECIR) , which is equivalent to a police First Information Report (FIR) to book the chief minister and others under the sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The Lokayukta police filed a First Information Report (FIR) last week against Siddaramaiah, Parvathi, Mallikarjun Swamy, Parvathi's brother-in-law, and a man named Devaraj, who was the source of the land that Mallikarjuna Swamy bought and gave to Parvathi.
The complaint was filed after a Bengaluru special court directed the Lokayukta police to look into claims that Siddaramaiah had committed irregularities in the Mysuru development authority's ₹56 million awarding of 14 sites to the chief minister's wife.
It is alleged that Siddaramaiah's wife was given compensated sites in a popular Mysuru neighborhood, which is worth more than the land that MUDA purportedly "acquired." The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 program in return for 3.16 acres of her land, where it created a residential project.
Under this controversial arrangement, MUDA provided 50 per cent of the developed land to landowners in lieu of undeveloped land acquired for residential projects. The 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 in Kasare village, Kasaba hobli in Mysuru taluk, are allegedly not legally Parvathi's.
