BJP MLA demands probe into Kurubarahalli land scam

Mysuru, Mar 10 (UNI) Karnataka BJP MLA T S Srivatsa, representing Krishnaraja constituency, on Tuesday demanded a comprehensive investigation into alleged irregularities in the registration and subsequent cancellation of 24 acres and 10 guntas of land in Survey No. 4 of Kurubarahalli village, warning that the matter could involve a scam worth nearly Rs 900 crore.
Speaking to reporters here, Srivatsa questioned how government land had been registered in the first place and later cancelled, urging the state government to conduct a thorough probe and take strict legal action against those responsible.
He called upon Chief Minister, Revenue Minister, and the district-in-charge minister to register criminal cases against the revenue officials and registration authorities involved, asserting that violations of the law should not be tolerated. Srivatsa said the issue would also be raised during the ongoing Assembly session and added that he had already brought it to the attention of the Leader of the Opposition.
