Karnataka Congress president D.K. Shivakumar on Friday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in connection with the National Herald case.
Mr. Shivakumar had to leave the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra midway in Karnataka to join the probe related to the financial contributions made to the Young Indian Private Limited, in which Congress president Sonia Gandhi and MP Rahul Gandhi had 38% shares each. The agency had summoned him along with his brother, MP D.K. Suresh.
The Karnataka Congress chief had requested the ED for rescheduling the date of his appearance after October 23. However, through an email, the agency official concerned sought his presence on Friday as mentioned in the summons sent on September 23.
