Officials from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid today on the Bengaluru residence of celebrity dog breeder and canine enthusiast S Satish Kadbombs.
Satish, known for his passion for raising expensive dog breeds from India and abroad, is being investigated by officials at his home in J.P. Nagar.
The investigation comes after Satish claimed at a recent film promotion event: "I have purchased a dog that is a mix of a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd, and its value is Rs 50 crore. There is only one such dog in the world, and I have bought it."
The ED has registered a case related to Satish's multi-crore foreign transactions and launched an investigation.
Reports suggest that Satish had been borrowing canines from different breeders to make viral videos, in which he falsely claimed to have purchased exotic foreign breeds at hefty prices up to crores of rupees.
According to One India reports, Satish claims to be president of the Indian Dog Breeders' Association. He allegedly makes money by taking his dogs to events, charging up to Rs 2.46 lakh for a 30-minute show and over Rs 10 lakh for longer exhibitions.
The ED raid is expected to uncover more details about the dog breeder's financial dealings and the veracity of his claims regarding the ownership of high-value exotic breeds.
