The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is preparing to initiate action against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah following the gathering of “clinching evidence” against him in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam case, sources said on Wednesday.

The ED sleuths have gathered information on the money trail and hawala transactions regarding the MUDA scam after petitioner Snehamayi Krishna filed a complaint with the probe agency.

The ED has already written a letter to the Karnataka Lokayukta on its findings and shared information on the alleged illegal allotment of sites to CM Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathy as compensation.
