Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah faces prosecution for alleged irregularities in land allocations by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot approved the prosecution following petitions by activists Pradeep Kumar, TJ Abraham, and Snehamayi Krishna. The allegations involve violations under Section 17 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Samhitha, 2023. The Governor's Secretariat informed the activists about the decision, which could lead to legal proceedings against Siddaramaiah. This development comes amid growing scrutiny of the MUDA land scam, adding to the challenges faced by the Chief Minister.
