The Karnataka Lokayukta has conducted a series of simultaneous raids across multiple locations in the state, including Bengaluru, Bidar, Mandya, Chikkaballapur, Kodagu, and Kalaburagi. These operations targeted the offices and residences of various government officials, such as a retired hostel superintendent, an assistant executive engineer, a district registrar, and a municipal commissioner.

During these searches, officials uncovered and seized assets linked to alleged disproportionate wealth, including cash, gold, silver, jewelry, and luxury items. In one instance in Mandya, investigators reportedly found items intended for hostel children, such as books and bedsheets, stored at a retired official’s farmhouse. Investigations into these corruption cases are ongoing.
