ED Conducts Fresh Raids in MUDA Money Laundering Case Involving Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched new raids on Monday in the ongoing money laundering investigation linked to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), naming Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as an accused. Searches are underway at about seven to eight locations across Bengaluru and Mysuru, according to official sources.

This latest action follows the initial round of searches conducted on October 18, which included the MUDA office in Mysuru. Last week, ED officials questioned several lower-ranking MUDA officials at their Bengaluru office as part of this investigation.

The ED has filed an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking note of a Lokayukta FIR. The Lokayukta and ED are examining alleged irregularities surrounding the allocation of 14 sites by MUDA to Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi B M, and other family members. Parvathi, along with the Chief Minister’s brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy and land seller Devaraju, are named in the case. Parvathi was recently questioned by the Lokayukta in connection with the allegations.
