The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case whistleblower Snehamayi Krishna has been booked by police on charges of sexual harassment, filed by a woman at the Nanjangudu Police Station on August 21, 2024. The activist denied all charges, calling it a ‘conspiracy’ to silence him.

Snehamayi was charged under Sections 85, 126(2), 74, 352, 351(2), 79, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The right to information (RTI) activist had earlier filed a case against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, alleging illegal allocation of compensatory land by the MUDA, which recently led to a court order directing an FIR investigation into the matter

“This is an attempt to suppress my fight against corruption. Even if I am jailed, my battle will continue,” he said. According to Snehamayi, 23 cases have been filed against him so far; he has been proven innocent in 8 of them and investigations have found 9 others to be false.

“One such instance is the Nanjangudu case, which alleges that I harassed a woman. My call records show that I was in Mysuru at that time. There is no new FIR against me; they are rehashing old complaints,” he said while speaking to the media.
