The Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials conducted raids at houses and offices of Congress MLA Nara Bharat Reddy, in Ballari and Bengaluru, on Saturday, 10 February.
The raids were part of a money-laundering investigation against the MLA and some others, official sources said.
The raids conducted at 13 locations included the MLA’s father’s house, his other relatives’ houses, and the Sree Raghavendra Enterprises Indian Minerals & Granite Company in Ballari, which is under the MLA’s name.
According to PTI, the premises of the 34-year-old legislator from Ballari and some other locations in Karnataka and Telangana are also being searched.
The raids at Ballari were carried out by four teams comprising 20 officials from the ED along with a team of CRPF policemen.
The money-laundering case against Reddy stems from an FIR lodged by the Karnataka Police and allegations of land deals that are under the ED’s scanner.
Some mining and quarrying businesses allegedly linked to the MLA are also being investigated by the agency.
ED has been tracking illegal money transactions among bank accounts of the offices belonging to the Congress MML, sources told South First.
