ED registers case against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah in alleged MUDA scam
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday registered a case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam. The case was filed after the Enforcement Directorate took note of a First Information Report filed by the Lokayukta.
The MUDA case involves allegations of illegalities in the allotment of 14 sites to Siddaramaiah's wife by the authority. It has been alleged that compensatory sites allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife - located in an upmarket area in Mysuru - is far higher than the land acquired from her by MUDA.

Siddaramaiah is the latest Opposition Chief Minister to have been named as an accused in a corruption case. Earlier, the Central agencies had named and arrested Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal, who has since stepped down from the Delhi Chief Minister's post.
