The Anti-Corruption Bureau in Karnataka on Tuesday raided five locations of Congress MLA BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan following a report of the Enforcement Directorate.

According to ACB officials, the raids were carried out at his residence near the Cantonment railway station, a flat in Silver Oak Apartment, a guest house at Sadashivanagar, GK Associates office at Banashankari and National Travels office at Kalasipalya in the city.

“The ACB teams are verifying the documents and the investigation is on,” the ACB official said.

Multiple teams of the ACB arrived at five locations of Khan, a four-time MLA, who had served as the food and civil supplies minister in the HD Kumaraswamy government for over a year from June 2018, from the morning.

In August last year, the Enforcement Directorate had raided the houses of Khan and another former minister R Roshan Baig, allegedly in connection with the IMA ponzi scheme worth Rs 4,000 crore in which thousands of people were duped of their hard-earned money. Khan had appeared before the ED several times.
