BENGALURU, 27 DEC

After the Karnataka government allegedly denied providing security to him and his family, RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna, on whose complaint a case has been registered in the MUDA scam, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, requesting immediate security assistance from the Centre.

In the letter, he stated that he had filed a complaint regarding the illegal allotment of 14 sites under the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) in the name of Parvathi, the wife of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, along with other political leaders and influential individuals.

"Despite my efforts to lodge a complaint with the relevant authorities, they refused action. As a result, I approached the Court and filed a private complaint. After reviewing my complaint and the supporting documents, the Court directed an investigation by the Lokayukta authorities. Following this, an FIR was registered in the case, with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah being named Accused No 1," he wrote in the 26 December letter.

The RTI activist alleged that, because of the disclosure of this scam, FIRs have been registered against him, and attempts are being made to imprison him.

The first FIR was filed at the Nanjanagudu Town Police Station, followed by one each at the Devaraja Police Station and the Krishnaraja Police Station.

"They are trying to pressure me and offering money in exchange for dropping the case. Despite this, I remain determined to continue the fight. Now, they are resorting to threats against me and my family," he alleged. —PTI
