Allegations like tampering of signatures and other charges will be verified by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL),” Parameshwara said.
“When a file reaches the Chief Minister's table, it is signed by several officials, including secretaries. We need to examine the recommendations made by the secretaries and whether the CM made decisions against those recommendations or followed them,” he said, adding, "It has also been questioned as to why out of 26 applicants, land was allotted to only one person. Clarifications will be provided to the Governor in this regard,” he added.
