Audit reveals irregular recruitment at Koppal Urban Development Authority

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

An audit has found that the Koppal Urban Development Authority hired seven outsourced staff members for 2025-26 even though only three positions were approved by the government.
The hiring was done without government sanction and without any tender process, with payments of over Rs 27 lakh made to the seven staff.
Of this, about Rs 19 lakh was paid for the four extra positions, and the audit has recommended recovering this amount.
The authority was already under scrutiny for an alleged Rs 8.89 crore scam in site allotment, and district in-charge minister Shivraj Tangadagi said the government is considering handing the case to an investigating agency if needed.

Whether the Rs 19 lakh paid for the four unapproved positions is actually recovered.
Whether the government hands the matter to an investigating agency, as the minister indicated.
Progress of the ongoing police investigation into the separate Rs 8.89 crore site allotment case.
