Karnataka: Here's how MLA Zameer Ahmed reacted to ED raids at his office, house
Bengaluru: Reacting to the Enforcement Department raids that were carried out at his office and house on Thursday, MLA and former Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan stated that the action by the agency was prompted by complaints made by his political rivals.
“I have not done anything against the law. I constructed my house with hard-earned money. During the raid, I provided all the information sought by the ED. They did not ask me anything about the IMA scam. If needed I will co-operate with the authorities in their probe” adding that he was relieved after the raid.
He added that he was not served any notice by the ED and that the construction of his house was completely transparent and he had nothing to hide.
“The ED has obtained the details of the financial transaction from the Bank which I took for the construction of the house. They raided my houses and found nothing” he said.

West Bengal: EC orders suspension of joint BDO ahead of polls
Kolkata (PTI): The Election Commission on Friday ordered the immediate suspension of a joint block development officer (BDO) in poll-bound West Bengal and directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against her.
The poll body, however, did not mention the grounds for the action.
In a letter to the chief secretary of West Bengal, the poll panel said the action against Jyotsna Khatun, the joint BDO of Purba Bardhaman district's Khandaghosh, is based on a recommendation from the chief electoral officer of the state.
"The commission has agreed to the proposal and directs that Jyotsna Khatun be suspended and disciplinary action be initiated against her immediately," the EC stated in its letter to the West Bengal chief secretary.
Khatun had been notified as the Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) for the 259-Khandaghosh Assembly Constituency.
The poll panel has asked authorities to implement the order "with immediate effect" and submit a compliance report by 11 am of Saturday.
The letter also instructed the authorities to urgently propose a replacement for the vacant post.
