Tumakuru/Bengalur: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday, May 21, launched raids on educational institutions linked to Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara. The searches began early in the day at various campuses linked to the Siddhartha Educational Trust.
According to sources, the ED teams arrived in multiple vehicles and conducted simultaneous inspections at Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology (SSIT) and Sri Siddhartha Medical College in Tumakuru, as well as at a medical college near T Begur in Nelamangala.
Officials were seen examining various documents and records related to the institutions. The ED has not issued an official statement yet, but the raids are believed to be part of an ongoing probe into suspected financial irregularities.
This is not the first time Parameshwara’s institutions have come under scrutiny. Earlier, the Income Tax Department had conducted raids on the same group of colleges, raising concerns about possible capitation fees and unaccounted income.
Dr Parameshwara serves as the Chancellor of the Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE), which manages these institutions.
There has been no official statement from the agency yet. More details are awaited.
