RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna on Monday lodged a complaint against Karnataka Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh for allegedly shifting crucial files and documents related to MUDA 'scam' involving CM Siddaramaiah.
In his complaint submitted to the Director General of Police Alok Mohan, he also accused the former Superintendent of Police of Lokayukta in Mysuru Sujeeth of "conniving" with the Minister in shifting the files in July this year, officials said.
A complaint copy was also mailed to the DGP on Sunday seeking investigation into the matter.
In the complaint, he alleged that the then Mysuru Lokayukta SP Sujeeth had allegedly alerted the Minister when the MUDA scam surfaced following which the Urban Development Minister flew to Mysuru via helicopter and took away the crucial files and documents related to the scam.
Sujeeth had allegedly helped the Minister shift these files.
The Lokayukta police has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Siddaramaiah and others in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case, following a court order.
Recently, the Enforcement Directorate booked Siddaramaiah, his wife and some others in a money laundering case linked to the MUDA land allotment case, taking cognisance of a recent state Lokayukta FIR.

A reduced majority, or even a loss for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) state elections is unlikely to ruffle the markets much, suggest analysts.
As thing stand, the markets, they said, have much bigger things to worry about such as the developing geopolitical situation in West Asia and its impact on oil prices, outcome of the US presidential polls in November and the upcoming corporate results season back home. Monetary policy of the global central banks, too, will be keenly eyed.
