Former MUDA official arrested in Bengaluru over alleged land scam and money laundering.

The Enforcement Directorate has arrested former MUDA commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar in Bengaluru under anti-money laundering laws over allegations of illegal site allotments during his tenure. The arrest follows searches of two residences linked to Kumar in connection with the MUDA land allocation scam. The ED alleges Kumar played an active role in money laundering tied to the scheme, which is under investigation based on a Karnataka Lokayukta Police FIR. He is expected to appear before a special PMLA court, where the ED will seek custody. The probe involves allegations of large-scale illegal allotments under a 50:50 scheme.
