Mysuru: Lokayukta sleuths of the Mysuru division this morning raided the office and residence of D. Nagesh, the Commissioner of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Zonal Office-5, located near Basavanagudi Circle, Hebbal.

The raids were conducted on charges of possessing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.

The anti-corruption team conducted simultaneous raids on nine government officials across the State, including in Mysuru, Haveri, Kalaburagi and other districts.

In addition to Nagesh’s residence and office, a raid was also carried out at the MCC main office on New Sayyaji Rao Road, as Nagesh was holding the additional charge of Public Relations Officer (PRO) at MCC. It is unclear whether Nagesh was present during the raid.
