DK Shivakumar, Karnataka Congress leader, faces ED chargesheet; says 'will not get bogged down by these threats'

NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet under the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act against Congress's Karnataka unit president DK Shivakumar before a special court here this week. The agency has, however, not shared details of the charges framed against the former minister.

Shivakumar was arrested in September 2019 after being grilled on huge investments flowing into his entities which owned properties in Karnataka and Delhi. He was asked to substantiate the sources of his investments in acquiring the properties besides the source of Rs 10 crore cash recovered during income-tax searches on his premises in 2017. The agency arrested Shivakumar when he "failed to co-operate" with the investigation and give satisfactory responses to questions related to the sources of his income.
