In her letter to Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Parvathi offered to return the 14 plots allotted to her in Vijayanagar Phase 3 and 4 in lieu of compensation for use of 3.16 acre land in Kesare Village, according to NDTV.

In the letter, she further said she was obeying the call of her conscience.

"Along with returning these plots, I also demand a comprehensive investigation into all allegations related to MUDA," she said.  

The ED on Monday filed a case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others in a money-laundering case linked to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority.

The federal agency has filed an enforcement case information report (ECIR) to book the chief minister and others, officials said.

Siddaramaiah, his wife B M Parvathi, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy and Devaraju -- from whom Swamy had purchased land and gifted it to Parvathi -- and others have been named in the FIR registered by the Mysuru-located Lokayukta police establishment on September 27.
