ED Case: MLA K.C. Veerendra’s Arrest Challenged, Hearing in High Court..!

Bengaluru The Karnataka High Court has taken up a petition filed by R.D. Chaitra, wife of Chitradurga Congress MLA K.C. Veerendra, seeking to declare his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as illegal.

Veerendra was detained on August 23, 2025, in Gangtok, Sikkim, over allegations of illegal online betting and money laundering.

However, Chaitra’s lawyers argued that the cases cited by the ED have either been closed or do not name Veerendra, suggesting political motives behind the arrest.

On September 3, 2025, a hearing presided over by Justice M.I. Arun saw arguments from both the ED and Veerendra’s legal team. The ED defended the arrest, stating compliance with legal and constitutional norms. Social, Educational, and Economic Survey: Hearing in High Court tomorrow..!
