Mysuru: The mega MUDA 50:50 ratio alternative sites allotment scam, which is being probed by Mysuru Lokayukta Police, has taken another twist.

It has now come to light that Jamuna, the niece of J. Devaraju, original land owner of 3.16 acres of land at Kesare in Mysuru, which was purchased by CM Siddaramaiah’s brother-in-law B.M. Mallikarjunaswamy, who later gifted the said land to his sister B.M. Parvathi (wife of CM Siddaramaiah), has filed a case questioning the land deal.
