Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi is under the Enforcement Directorate's scanner in a money laundering case linked to alleged foreign investments. The ED has registered a fresh PMLA case and conducted searches at around 18 locations across Bengaluru and Belagavi. Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has called the action a politically motivated "witch-hunt", while the BJP has hit back, demanding action against alleged corruption in the Congress government.
