Amid Row Over Siddaramaiah Land Case, Key Official QuitsCitingHealth

Mysuru Urban Development Authority chairperson K Marigowda resigned from his post on Wednesday amid the ongoing investigation against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with an alleged land scam, NDTV reported.

The alleged scam pertains to the allotment of 14 high-value housing sites in Mysuru’s Vijaynagar area to Parvathi, the chief minister’s wife, in 2021 by the Mysore Urban Development Authority under a state government scheme.

This was allegedly done in exchange for 3.1 acres of land that she owned in another part of the city. The land was allegedly illegally acquired from Dalit families.
