HC stays probe into private complaint against BJP MLA

The stay was granted by Justice B V Pinto on a petition by Muniraju seeking quashing of the complaint.

The Lokayukta court here on November 2 had directed the Lokayukta Police to conduct the probe into the complaint filed by a person named Puttaswamy.

The complainant has charged Muniraju with illegally transferring ownership of a portion of a land belonging to his mother-in-law by fabricating documents with the help of officials and misusing his official position.
