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.

Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
