Karnataka's cabinet has approved a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe alleged financial irregularities and misuse of COVID-19 funds under the previous BJP government. The SIT, led by an Inspector General of Police, will investigate findings from an interim report by Justice John Michael D'Cunha, which accused former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and ex-minister B Sriramulu of corruption, including the procurement of PPE kits at inflated costs. The cabinet also plans to transfer recovery actions to the Department of Revenue.
