SUB REGISTRAR CHELUVARAJU’S MULTI CRORE TRANSFER BUSINESS..

The Chief Minister D.V.Sadananda Gowda has transferred 90 Sub Registrars within ten days. There are more such transfers in coming days. 

The highlight of this year’s transfer is the dominant role played by a Sub Registrar Cheluvaraj who has taken over the wholesale transfer business in the department. Allegedly, more than 25 crores were collected from the Sub Registrars to get transfers or retentions. The going rate for posting to Bangalore Sub Registrar offices allegedly is 25 to 75 lakhs. Cheluvaraju himself has taken a posting to highly fertile Varthur office. 

It is to be recalled that Cheluvaraju’s house was raided by the Lokayukta two years back after he held the birthday celebration of his son in a grand scale. It is said that he had transported crores from his house before the Lokayukta raid. Cheluvaraju had done transfer business during the role of Karunakara Reddy, the then Revenue Minister. 

And this time, Cheluvaraju had done the transfer business with meticulous care. No other official or person was allowed in the transfer business. The total money collected for transfer business this season was allegedly more than 25 crores and it is true that Cheluvaraju has kept a share as his brokerage. 

Cheluvaraju who hails from a very poor family joined as Sub Registrar in 1999. Now he is worth several crores. We will shortly expose the entire transfer business and Cheluvaraju’s properties - both naami and benami worth crores.
