Karnataka HC Stays Probe Against ED Officers Accused Of Coercing Witness To Name CM Siddaramaiah In Valmiki Corporation Case

The Karnataka High Court has temporarily stayed the investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into alleged coercion by ED officers concerning a witness in a case involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the Valmiki Corporation. This development follows a petition filed challenging the ED's actions, arguing that the coercion claims were unfounded and aimed at influencing the ongoing investigation. The court's order pauses the ED's proceedings while the legal issues are reviewed.
