Bengaluru: A complaint has been filed with the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), New Delhi, seeking a probe into the alleged illegal acquisition and transfer of land belonging to members of the Talwari Scheduled Tribe community in Venkatala village, Yelahanka taluk.
Dated October 7, 2026, the complaint was filed by Narasimha Murthy N., Muniraju B. and Saritha M. It alleges the involvement of the Embassy Group and associated entities, including MAC Charles Hub Projects Private Limited, along with individuals named in the complaint, including Norman D’Souza, R. Venkatesh and H.B. Jairaj.
The complainants have alleged illegal acquisition of Scheduled Tribe land, fabrication and use of documents, manipulation of revenue records, unauthorised general power of attorney (GPA) documents, illegal land conversion and subsequent transfers. They have urged the ED to examine whether financial transactions linked to the disputed properties warrant scrutiny under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
The disputed properties include Survey No. 56, measuring around 7 acres and 22 guntas, and Survey No. 41, measuring approximately 2 acres and 4 guntas, in Venkatala village.
According to the complaint, the original grantees belonged to the Talwari Scheduled Tribe community, but their families subsequently lost control of the properties through a series of transactions that the complainants want investigated.
The complaint raises questions over a disputed GPA, a Will and subsequent mutations, subdivisions and transfers. The ED has been asked to examine whether revenue and registration records were manipulated to facilitate the transactions.
A key allegation concerns Survey No. 41/1, measuring around 2 acres and 2 guntas, which the complainants claim was subsequently acquired by MAC Charles Hub Projects Private Limited.
They have sought scrutiny of the consideration paid for the property, the source of funds and possible financial links between the transactions and associated entities.
