Bengaluru Police File FIR Over Illegal E-Khata Issuance to 98 Properties
Bengaluru police have registered an FIR against two government officials and 32 property owners for allegedly issuing illegal e-khatas to 98 ineligible properties between January and June. The officials reportedly misused the SARFAESI module of the e-Aasthi software, intended for bank-auctioned properties, to approve applications despite negative reports. The complaint, filed by the Greater Bengaluru Authority's Special Commissioner, alleges collusion and government loss, with charges including criminal conspiracy and forgery. Notices have been issued to all accused for statements.
