The Udupi City Municipal Council (UCMC) detained a property broker and a second individual on Tuesday for alleged fraud against the municipality.
According to the council, the duo allegedly manipulated property tax records and falsified valuation documents to reduce the amount payable. Investigation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development found supporting evidence.
The arrests highlight ongoing efforts to curb corruption within local bodies. The case is expected to deter similar schemes and protect municipal revenue. Source: Google News – Udupi.
