Former MLA E. Manjunath alleged that 14 acres of land, worth ₹500 crore, in Kodigehalli Survey No. 86, notified for a NICE road project, was grabbed by associates of CM D.K. Shivakumar and his brother D.K. Suresh. He stated that these 14 plots, which were notified, were documented using fake Aadhaar cards in the names of Sreedhar, Chandran, and Puttagauramma. E. Manjunath also alleged that a court case filed on this land was dropped after negotiations, where 40% was agreed to be given to him. He demanded an investigation into who these individuals are and how they managed to acquire the land notified for the NICE project.
