Mysuru: The Anti-corruption Bureau ( ACB) police nabbed 2 employees of Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) for their role in the alleged 81 acre KHB scam.

The ACB took KHB employees named Nagabhushan Aradhya and Nagaraju listed 6 and 7th in the list of accused into their custody for further investigation.

Meanwhile, son of former KHB chairman and MLA G T Devegowda is absconding fearing arrest as the suspense over his anticipatory bail plea continued.
