The anti-corruption agency, Lokayukta, conducted statewide raids on government officials in nine districts across Karnataka on Thursday morning. The districts included Mandya, Kolar, Belagavi, Mysore, and Hassan. These raids were part of 11 cases registered with the agency.

Over 100 Lokayukta officers were involved in the simultaneous raids at 56 locations, all related to disproportionate asset cases.

Another raid at 40 locations was conducted in February.
