The CBI authorities recently took into their custody from the Lokayukta police documents pertaining to the scam in the distribution of 107 sites by the Mandya Urban Development Authority.
Suresh Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), collected the documents from Girijesh, his counterpart in the Lokayukta police.
The case was handed over to the CBI, following a complaint by lawyer T S Satyananda. The names of Minister Ambarish, MP C S Puttaraju, MLA Ramesh Bandisiddegowda and ex-MLA M Srinivas had figured in the complaint. Ambarish later sold the site to another person. He had even admitted to the fact.
