Bengaluru: The Lokayukta police probing the MUDA site allotment case on Wednesday, February 19, said the charges against chief minister Siddaramaiah and his wife Parvathi could not be proved for want of evidence. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, R Ashoka, addressing the media said the Lokayukta report giving clean chit to Siddaramaiah was on the expected lines, while the petitioner in the case, activist Snehamayi Krishna, told PTI: “Only those officials who have sold their conscience can give such a report”.

Besides Siddaramaiah and his wife, his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy and the land owner Devaraju are the accused. Also Read MUDA scam: Karnataka Lokayukta seeks ...
