The Lokayukta police were supposed to file a conclusive report the same day on the further investigation done to unearth the alleged role of former commissioners of MUDA in illegal allotment of sites.

On April 15, the special court kept its decision pending on accepting or rejecting the 'B' report (closure report) by the Lokayukta police, giving a clean chit to CM Siddaramaiah and his family members in the MUDA case. However, the Lokayukta police were permitted to conduct further investigation into the role of other accused and file a conclusive report on or before May 7, when the hearing was to be held.
