New Delhi, Oct 28: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday carried out searches at over half a dozen locations in Mangalore, Bengaluru, Mandya, and Mysuru, related to the MUDA-linked money laundering case in Karnataka, sources reported.
The searches are being conducted at the premises of a builder, along with various other private individuals.
This action follows the agency’s summoning of six employees linked to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) in Karnataka for questioning last week. These employees were called in relation to the high-profile alleged scam and will be interrogated on various dates at the ED’s zonal office in Bengaluru.

Those summoned have been asked to bring various documents related to the case. The Enforcement Directorate is concentrating on collecting evidence tied to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and several of his associates.
These actions follow a money-laundering case filed against Siddaramaiah and others last month, stemming from a First Information Report by the state Lokayukta regarding the MUDA. The FIR names the chief minister, his wife B.M. Parvathi, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, and Devaraju, from whom Swamy bought land that was subsequently gifted to Parvathi.
