The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recovered large amounts of cash, gold, and casino-related documents during raids connected to a Karnataka Congress MLA. The searches were carried out at multiple locations as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering and financial irregularities.
Officials revealed that stacks of cash amounting to several crores, gold ornaments, and foreign currency were seized. In addition, documents and cards linked to casino operations were also found, raising questions about possible links to gambling networks and unaccounted financial transactions.
The raids have sparked a political storm in Karnataka, with opposition parties demanding strict action and accusing the ruling Congress of shielding its leaders. The Congress MLA in question has denied any wrongdoing and alleged that the raids are politically motivated.
According to ED sources, the materials collected will be examined further to trace the money trail and identify connections with hawala operators or overseas networks. The agency has not ruled out summoning the MLA for questioning in the coming days.
The development comes at a time when corruption and illegal money circulation remain key political flashpoints in Karnataka, with both ruling and opposition parties trading charges ahead of upcoming electoral battles.
