KIADB officials accused of land scam

The latest complaint lodged with Karnataka Governor has put Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) officials in a spot. The complaint pertains to Jagadish Shettar’s tenure as industries minister.

Citizens’ Rights Foundation, a Bangalore-based non-governmental organisation, has filed a complaint on Monday with the Karnataka Governor requesting an inquiry into the alleged illegalities by the board during Jagadish Shettar’s tenure as industries minister.

“I want the Governor to order an inquiry into the illegalities committed by the KIADB officials and other influential people allegedly close to Jagadish Shettar and other politicians. After coming to know about the KIADB’s plan to acquire the land for the proposed multi-model logistic park (MMLP), officials and people close to politicians and elected representatives purchased land from farmers at lower price and are now set to receive a huge amount as compensation,” said Citizen Rights Foundation secretary BT Radhakrishna.
