ED Raids Shake Karnataka: Former Minister & Congress MLA Under Fire In ₹187 Crore Scam Probe

The Enforcement Directorate launched simultaneous raids at multiple locations linked to former Karnataka Minister B Nagendra and Congress MLA Basanagouda Daddal. The raids are part of the ₹187 crore Valmiki Corporation scam investigation. The scandal surfaced following the tragic suicide of the Corporation's Accounts Superintendent, who implicated Nagendra in his note. The raids occurred a day after both were questioned by a special investigation team. The opposition BJP criticized the Congress government, while the Congress vowed to punish the culprits.
