The Karnataka Lokayukta has filed an FIR against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his wife, and brother-in-law over allegations of corruption and land grabbing tied to the Mysore Urban Development Authority land allotment case.

Congress president M Mallikarjun Kharge, meanwhile, came to Siddaramaiah's defence, stating that the party is standing with him and will support him.

The FIR was filed according to the order by Special Court for People’s Representatives and names Siddaramaiah as accused 1, and his wife Parvathy as accused 2 and Bamaida Mallikarjunaswamy as accused 3.

The Lokayukta police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case.

The move by the state’s Anti-Corruption body follows a special court in Bengaluru ordering a Lokayukta police investigation into the allegations against Siddaramaiah.

The case is based on allegations of irregularities and misuse of authority within MUDA during Siddaramaiah’s previous tenure as Chief Minister.

The FIR charges Siddaramaiah under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including criminal conspiracy, public servant disobeying law, dishonest misappropriation of property, cheating, and more.

The Lokayukta Police in Mysuru have registered an FIR against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and his wife Parvathy for allegedly unlawfully allotting 14 housing plots. The case follows a special court's directive to investigate complaints from an activist.
