Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided 16 locations tied to Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara, investigating a ₹40 lakh payment allegedly linked to actress Ranya Rao’s credit card bill.
  • Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi and H. D. Kumaraswamy claim Congress factions provided information to the ED to undermine Parameshwara’s leadership ambitions.
  • Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar defended Parameshwara, framing the payment as a wedding gift and asserting his integrity.
  • Parameshwara, seen as a potential future Chief Minister, has directed full cooperation with the ED but has not commented on the political implications of the investigation.
  • Reports suggest the ED may soon summon Parameshwara for questioning, while political analysts highlight the case’s potential to reshape Karnataka’s leadership dynamics.
