Karnataka Lokayukta Raids Government Officials in Asset Case
The Lokayukta, a special government team in Karnataka, is checking if some government workers have way more money and things than they should.
They raided the homes of eight officials, including a high-ranking officer named Vasanthi Amar.
They are investigating if these officials have 'disproportionate assets,' meaning they own more than their salaries would allow.
Vasanthi Amar works on a railway project in Bengaluru.
The Lokayukta is doing this to make sure everyone in the government is being honest and not misusing their power.

An IAS officer, Vasanthi Amar, is among the officials targeted.
The raids are part of an alleged disproportionate assets case.
Searches are being conducted at the officials' residences.
