Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today said he has sought a report from the Revenue Department on the alleged land grab involving Chief Secretary Arvind Jadhav.
"After the matter was reported in the media, I have asked Revenue Department to give a report," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
Amid the controversy, Jadhav met the Chief Minister today.
Jadhav has not reacted to the allegations publicly.
Media reports alleged that Jadhav had manipulated land records to get 8.30 acres of government land registered in his mother's name at Ramanayakanahalli village in Sarjapur hobli of Anekal Taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Jadhav, a 1978-batch IAS officer, was appointed as Chief Secretary on December 31, 2015. He was to retire on June 30, but was given an extension of three months.
An RTI activist has filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Bureau against Jadhav and others seeking criminal proceedings against them.
Jadhav had also served as Chairman and Managing Director of state-run carrier Air India.
