The former BDA Commissioner Jayakar Jerome has been summoned by Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) in connection with allegations that Banashankari VI Stage 4H Block was developed on Venkatarayanakere in 2004. He is likely to present himself on May 11.
The tahsildar had lodged a complaint with the BMTF that the BDA had encroached upon 4 acres of Venkatarayanakere to develop the layout. “Mr. Jayakar Jerome was the BDA Commissioner then. We have called him seeking clarifications,” said T. Suneel Kumar, BMTF chief. Mr. Jerome was not available for comment.
