In a setback to Housing and Minorities Welfare Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan, the High Court of Karnataka on Saturday refused to quash a corruption case registered by the Lokayukta police against him for allegedly possessing disproportionate assets worth ₹87.44 crore, which is 2,031% excess of his income from all known sources.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the order while dismissing the petition filed by Mr. Khan, who had questioned the registration of the case against him by the erstwhile Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on May 5, 2022, and later transferred to the Lokayukta police following winding up of ACB.
