Karnatakae, Goa, and Mumbaiby ED over illegal mining, according to a statement from the agency.
Since Monday evening, the agencies have been carrying out coordinated searches at 15 locations connected to Karnataka Congress MLA Satish Krishna Sail, according to media reports.
In a money laundering investigation, the officials reportedly searched the Congress MLA's premises. The ED action comes in the midst of a number of raids that have been conducted ahead of the assembly elections in Karnataka, which will take place next month.
According to reports, the Election Commission is monitoring the raids, which have so far involved multiple locations in Karnataka, Goa, and Mumbai.
According to reports, the ED has not made any statements regarding the searches and has refused to provide any details.
The development comes after the ED recently conducted searches at the premises of Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar in Karnataka and recorded the statement of his business partner, Ms. Anupama Jairam.
The BJP has criticized the raids, calling them politically motivated and aimed at preventing Congress legislators from switching sides.
The BJP has repeatedly accused the Congress of targeting its leaders and workers through central agencies ahead of key state elections.
It remains to be seen what impact these raids will have on the political landscape of the state.
