Huge Stash Of Cash & Gold Seized As Lokayukta Raids BBMP Official Over Disproportionate Assets

Ahead of the Karnataka Elections, the Lokayukta raided an ADTP BBMP official's residence and recovered cash, gold, and some critical documents among other things.

Following a public complaint regarding disproportionate assets, the Karnataka Lokayukta raided a Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officer in Bengaluru on Monday and recovered a huge stash of cash and jewellery during the raid, reported news agency ANI. Over 15 officials raided BBMP officer Gangadharaiah's residence in Mahalakshmi Layout in Bengaluru. The action against Gangadhariah, who is an Assistant Director Town Planning (ADTP) in BBMP was headed by one Superintendent of Police (SP), two Deputy Superintendents of Police, and an inspector, as per reports.

Several documents along with cash and gold were seized during the raid.

The timing for these raids is noteworthy as the State Assembly Election is just around a fortnight away.

IT Dept Searches Premises Of G Square Realtors, Accused Of 'Close' Links With TN CM's Family, DMK

Meanwhile, Income Tax sleuths on Monday began searches in more than 50 locations in connection with G Square Realtors, a private firm, considered to be very close with the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu. The residence of Praveen, a cousin of Chief Minister MK Stalin's son-in-law Sabareesan is also being searched, sources told ABP Nadu. The searches are happening across multiple cities such as Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, Karnataka's Hosur, Bangalore, Mysore, and Bellary, and also in Telangana.

Raids are taking place at DMK MLA Mohan and his Son Karthik's residence (one of the partners in G Square) in Chennai's Anna Nagar, G Square Bala (another partner), Auditor Shanmugam's residence at Anna Nager, Chennai, G Square offices at Chennai's Chetpat, Alwarpet, Coimbatore, and Trichy.

G Square has officially denied alleged links with the DMK saying that it has no connection with the first family of the ruling party of Tamil Nadu. Praveen Kumar, Communications Head, said: "We are running the business as per the law only."

In 2019 too, G Square was raided by IT officials and nothing major was found.
