The Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained former Karnataka minister and Congress leader B Nagendra in connection with the Valmiki Corporation scam. According to PTI, Nagendra was taken from his residence to the ED office in Bengaluru for questioning.
“I’m being taken from my home… I don’t know anything,” Nagendra told reporters as he was escorted to the ED office.
This development comes just days after the ED conducted extensive searches at the former minister’s premises as part of a money laundering probe linked to an alleged scam. The investigation gained attention following the death of Chandrasekharan P, the accounts superintendent of the Corporation, on May 21.
