S Lalitha ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has recently written to the state home department asking for the upgradation of its existing Task Force to that of a police station. Speaking to The New Indian Express, BDA Commissioner Rakesh Singh said, “The Task Force does not have the powers to register an FIR nor arrest anyone. An FIR had been registered in connection with the Kengeri scam at Kengeri police station last month. “Most of them involved BDA sites surrendered back to the Authority by allottees. Allottees handed back the sites and took alternative BDA sites in exchange as they were not happy with the sites given,” he said..
