ED filed chargesheet against KPCC president D.K.Shivakumar and others

Enforcement Directorate(ED) has filed a chargesheet against Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar and others in an alleged money laundering case.

Shivakumar is presently on bail in the money laundering case registered by ED based on a complaint filed by I-T Dept

In September 2018 the federal investigation agency had registered a money laundering case against D.K.Shivakumar & others.

The case was based on an income-tax department chargesheet filed against D.K.Shivakumar and others before a court in Bengaluru for alleged tax evasion and hawala dealings.

D.K.Shivakumar was arrested by the ED in this case in 2019, and a number of people and associates, including his daughter Aisshwarya and Congress MLA Lakshmi Hebbalkar, were questioned by the agency.

Reacting to the chargesheet against him in an alleged money laundering case, state Congress president D.K.Shivakumar said, I believe in law of the land. I also believe I will get justice. All this is politically motivated.
