Lokayukta police register DA case against Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar

The Lokayukta police have registered a disproportionate assets (DA) case against Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. This follows the Congress government withdrawing consent to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for the DA case against him on November 23, 2023, and referring the case to the Lokayukta police.

The CBI has challenged both orders of the State government — of withdrawal of consent and referring the case to the Lokayukta police — before the High Court of Karnataka and the petitions are pending.

Meanwhile, the Lokayukta police have registered an FIR in the case and have written to the CBI seeking the case file to be handed over to them.
