The Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) in Karnataka was involved in a well-known scam. On Friday, sources said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had called six MUDA workers in for questioning.

The questioning will happen at the ED’s local office in Bengaluru and will happen on different times for each officer.
People who have been called have also been told to bring a number of papers that are connected to the case. The ED’s investigators are working hard to find proof and papers that have something to do with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and a number of officials who work for him.
The actions come just a few days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a money-laundering case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others. This was in response to a recent First Information Report by the state Lokayukta about the MUDA, which put the Congress leader in a lot of trouble.

The FIR names the chief minister, his wife B.M. Parvathi, his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, and Devaraju. Swamy bought land from Devaraju and then gave it to Parvathi.
The ED has used parts of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in this case. This law lets the agency question people and possibly take their property while the probe is going on.

Siddaramaiah has always rejected the claims, saying that he is being persecuted for political reasons. The leaders of Siddaramaiah’s party have backed up his decision that he will not quit, even though the BJP keeps asking him to step down as head of the government.
