Bangalore:
A first information report (FIR) was Saturday filed by police
against three former Karnataka chief ministers - H.D. Deve Gowda,
S.M. Krishna and B.S. Yeddyurappa - over their alleged role in
irregularities in a highway project.
The FIR was filed by police attached to Lokayukta (ombudsman)
against the three former chief ministers and 27 others, including
senior executives of the Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise
(NICE) which is executing the 111-km Bangalore-Mysore Expressway
project, a Lokayukta spokesperson told reporters here.
The complaint alleging grant of excess land for the project was
filed in the Lokayukta court by a Bangalore-based social activist
T.J. Abraham.
The Rs.4,000-crore project consisting of 111-km expressway and
several townships has been mired in controversy over allegations
that NICE was allotted land far in excess of the project
requirement.
The complaint, filed Aug 27, alleged irregularities in the
acquisition of farmers' lands for the project and wanted the court
to attach the 6,999 acres allotted for the project.
The memorandum of understanding for the project was signed in 1995
when Gowda was the chief minister. Krishna was chief minister
between 1999 and 2004, while Yeddyurappa headed the state
government between 2008 and 2011.
Lokayukta court's Judge N.K. Sudhindra Rao Oct 25 ordered that the
role of the three former chief ministers and others be probed.
