The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Karnataka Lokayukta police raided the Assistant Director of Land Records office in Chikkaballapur on Friday over alleged illegal allotment of government land.
- The raid also covered the house of a farmer named Nagaraju in connection with the case.
- The case concerns 17 guntas of government tank land at Survey No. 67 in Avulagurki village, allegedly allotted to Nagaraju through an application.
- Locals had complained in 2022 that the tank, once used for cattle to drink water, was closed off for private use, causing water shortages for cattle in summer.
- Lokayukta police have registered a case against Nagaraju and officials including the then village accountant, revenue officer, tahsildar and the Assistant Director of Land Records, and the outcome will decide whether the allotment is cancelled.
What to watch next
- Findings of the Lokayukta probe into whether rules were followed during the land allotment
- Action against the named revenue and land records officials
- Whether the government cancels the allotment and restores public use of the tank land
