The Karnataka government has asked Eagleton Golf Resort near Bengaluru, where 42 Congress MLAs from Gujarat have been sequestered to prevent them from joining the BJP ahead of the Rajya Sabha poll next week, to pay Rs 982-crore penalty bill.
According to The Indian Express, state law minister TB Jayachandra said the cabinet has decided to ask the resort to pay Rs 982 crore as penalty to regularise 77 acres of land encroached by it or surrender it to the government.
