In a major anti-corruption action, the Karnataka Lokayukta on Thursday initiated simultaneous raids on the properties of four government officials across the state. Official sources confirmed that the raids are being conducted in multiple locations, including Bengaluru, Mandya, and Chikkaballapura, as part of an ongoing investigation into disproportionate assets cases.
The operation, which involves the inspection of multiple properties linked to the officials, is aimed at uncovering any illegal accumulation of wealth. Lokayukta officials have been thoroughly examining documents, assets, and valuables associated with the individuals in question.
The raids come in the wake of a sustained effort by the Lokayukta to curb corruption and enforce accountability in the state’s administrative machinery. As of now, the identity of the officials being investigated has not been disclosed, but authorities have made it clear that the operation is part of a broader crackdown on public servants suspected of misusing their positions for personal gain.
The Lokayukta’s role has been crucial in exposing corruption within government departments, and this raid is expected to further bolster the agency’s efforts in ensuring transparency and integrity in public service.
Authorities are expected to release more details after the ongoing investigation progresses. The raids have sparked considerable attention, with the public eagerly awaiting updates on the outcome and any potential consequences for the accused officials.
