The Story in Brief
Bengaluru police have booked three government surveyors after an internal inquiry found irregularities in processing 103 land survey applications at the K.R. Puram ADLR office. The accused are Shivashankar, Arun Kumar, and Manjunath. The inquiry examined their login history on the Bhoomi online system.
The report said applications were processed bypassing actual mandates, causing an estimated loss of Rs 77,075 in fees. Officials raised concerns that similar irregularities may have occurred in other districts and have called for a detailed examination of transactions. An FIR has been filed at Halasur Gate police station.
The Indian Opinion
This is not just a routine crackdown. The loss flagged, Rs 77,075, is small, but the pattern of bypassing mandates across 103 applications suggests the problem may be far larger. Some will blame individual surveyors alone. But the inquiry itself notes possible involvement of multiple persons and similar cases in other districts. The real test is whether the department now audits the entire Bhoomi transaction history in Bengaluru urban district, not just one office.
