Indian officials in Karnataka have been accused of embezzling 450 million from the government treasury. Following intelligence reports, raids were conducted at various locations across nine districts in Karnataka, revealing disproportionate assets of 11 officials.
The anti-corruption raids uncovered assets worth 450 million that were deemed to be beyond the known sources of income of these officials. This development comes amid broader concerns about corruption in Indian government institutions.
Earlier this year, in January 2023, American research center Hindenburg had released a detailed report alleging collusion between the Adani Group and the Modi government, which had garnered international attention.
The recent raids and findings in Karnataka raise questions about the effectiveness of India's legal system in addressing corruption among government officials. It remains to be seen how the authorities will proceed with the cases against the implicated officials.
