Tainted official's land in mother-in-law's name

January 4, 2017

Bengaluru, Jan 4: More assets linked to the suspended chief project officer of the State Highway Development Project, S C Jayachandra, have been unearthed. Documents accessed by DH show that the officer has acquired assets in his mother-in-law's name. One of the major assets is a 15-acre, 10-gunta plot of land at Antarasanthe near Kabini in Mysuru district and four sites in Harohalli near Yelahanka in the city.

JayachandraThis apart, Jayachandra's wife Bharathi Jayachandra was inducted as one of the additional directors in Jivin Green Realty Pvt Ltd in 2014-15. Bharathi Jayachandra, along with one Pokar Ram and D M Chandresh, was appointed as additional directors at the board meeting held on September 17, 2015. During the financial year-end, March 31, 2016, the promoters and directors of this company Rama Sudarshan and Sudarshana Kavi Shivaraman, resigned. The profit and loss account for the year ending March 31, 2015, reveals the net loss for the year under review as Rs 10.25 lakh as against the profit of Rs 4.65 lakh in the previous year.

Two long-term loans, Rs 7.56 crore for 2014-15 and Rs 2.55 crore for 2013-14, have been mentioned in the balance sheet. They are mentioned as loan from directors. However, there are no details about the names of the directors and against what security the loans were given by the directors. The consolidated amount, around Rs 9.84 crore, has been used to purchase land. Sources said the probe is on to trace the source of the money which has been diverted to the company in the name of loans.

Sources said there are several assets in the name of Jayachandra's mother-in-law. The officials are, however, still verifying the source of income with which the officer's mother-in-law purchased lands in Antarasanthe near Kabini in H D Kote in Mysuru district. More than 15 acres of land was purchased in 2012 and the property also borders the land acquired for the Kabini reservoir rehabilitation package.

A source said that the officer was planning to construct a resort on the land. This apart, she bought four different sites ranging from 9 guntas to 11 guntas, in 2007. However, sources said that of these sites, the officer's mother-in-law sold two sites within a year.

New Delhi, Jun 7: The Karnataka government has asked the railways to make announcements at originating stations that it was compulsory for passengers travelling to the state to register themselves on the ‘Seva Sindhu’ portal through which they can be tracked.

In a letter to Chairman Railway Board on Saturday, Chief Secretary of the state T M Vijay Bhaskar said many passengers are not aware of this mandatory rule of the southern state.

He said thousands of passengers are coming to Karnataka from New Delhi, Bihar, Maharashtra and other states through trains everyday, but most of them are not registered under the Seva Sindhu portal of the Government of Kamataka.

"If passengers are not registered under Seva Sindhu, the state will not be able to track them. Therefore, it is necessary to create awareness among the passengers regarding registration under the portal.

"Hence, it is requested to give instructions to origin railway stations to make announcements that ‘It is compulsory for all passengers travelling to Karnataka to register in Seva Sindhu portal. Otherwise they will not be allowed for home quarantine’, and also to give passengers awareness (about this) at the time of booking tickets,” Bhaskar said in his letter to the national transporter.

Seva Sindhu portal, under the control of the Karnataka government, provides various online services to the citizens of the state.

Currently, this portal is playing an important role in helping those stranded amid the COVID-19 pandemic to fill online registration forms for availing e-passes.
