The Bangalore Development Authority chairman, however, did not name the officials involved in the alleged land scam.
Some officials of the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) were on Saturday booked for swapping prime land acquired by the authority with another parcel of property, causing a Rs 100 crore loss, BDA chairman S R Vishwanath said.
Mr Vishwanath, who is also the Yelahanka MLA in the city, said in a statement that the officials colluded with one Nagaraj. He, however, did not name the officials involved in the alleged fraud and the number of authorities was also not mentioned.
He added that a case was registered at the Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) on Saturday based on a BDA task force report that gave details of large-scale irregularities in the deal.
The BMTF is a special police setup in Karnataka established to safeguard and protect government property in Bengaluru.
