Bengaluru (Karnataka): The Enforcement Directorate’s Bengaluru zonal office has intensified its action in the Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) recruitment scam by provisionally attaching immovable assets valued at ₹1.53 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
According to officials, the attachment was executed on January 23, 2026, as part of the ongoing investigation into alleged financial irregularities linked to the recruitment process. The attached assets comprise residential properties owned by former Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Amrit Paul and head constable Sridhar, both of whom are accused in the case.
The ED has been probing the scam following allegations that bribes were exchanged to manipulate the PSI recruitment examination, undermining the integrity of the selection process. Investigators believe the attached properties represent proceeds of crime generated through unlawful activities connected to the recruitment scam.
The agency stated that further investigation is underway to trace additional assets and identify other beneficiaries involved in the alleged money laundering network. The case has drawn significant attention due to the involvement of senior police officials and the scale of the alleged corruption.
