The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday has raided more than 12 locations in Karnataka as part of a money-laundering investigation against Congress MLA Nara Bharath Reddy and some others.
They stated that the premises of the 34-year-old legislator from Bellary and some other locations in Karnataka and Telangana are being searched.
Officials of the central agency searched Reddy’s locations in Bellary & Bengaluru.
The money-laundering case against Reddy stems from an FIR lodged by the Karnataka Police and allegations of land deals that are under ED’s scanner.
Some mining and quarrying businesses allegedly linked to the MLA are also being investigated by the agency.
