<h1>ED arrests former municipal development commissioner under PMLA over alleged large-scale illegal land allotments and money laundering</h1> The Enforcement Directorate arrested a former municipal development authority commissioner under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on allegations of large-scale illegal site allotments linked to gratification; two residences were searched and the agency will seek his custody in a designated PMLA court. The ED alleges the ex-commissioner actively laundered proceeds from improper MUDA land allocations. The probe stems from a Lokayukta police FIR that names the state chief minister, members of his family and other individuals in connection with disputed land purchases, transfers and alleged gifts tied to the allotments.
