Probe ordered into misuse of funds in SJM mutt’s statue
An investigation has been ordered into the alleged misuse of funds amounting to ₹35 crore allocated by the state government for the construction of 375-feet Basaveshwara statue in Chitradurga, an official familiar with the matter said. The official said that deputy commissioner T Venskatesh has ordered details on the matter from technical experts, urging for accurate assessments to ascertain the true status of the Basaveshwara statue’s construction in Sri Jagadguru Murugharajendra mutt in Chitradurga. He said: “I have received the report submitted by Chitradurga’s additional deputy commissioner BT Kumara Swamy, but there is no specific information about actual spending on statue; hence, I sought details from technical experts. Then I will write the state government to take action in this regard.” The SJM mutt in Chitradurga has been in controversy over the alleged child sexual assault by its pontiff Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru.
