New Delhi : Congress MP DK Suresh appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the investigations into allegations in a money laundering against his brother and Congress leader DK Shivakumar in Delhi on Thursday.
The ED had arrested Shivakumar, in connection with an alleged money laundering case on Sep 4 and is presently lodged into judicial custody in Tihar jail.
On August 29, the Karnataka High Court had dismissed his petition challenging the summons issued by the ED in December 2018. Later that night, he was summoned by the law enforcement agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and was asked to appear before it on August 30, following which he was interrogated for four days.
Earlier, as many as 5,000 Vokkaligas gathered at the National College Grounds to take part in the protest rally to freedom park, against DK Shivakumar’s arrest.
Also Supporters of D K Shivakumar and his parliamentarian brother D K Suresh from Ramanagar and Kanakapura joined in the protest.
The money laundering case was registered by the ED against Shivakumar in September last year, based on a complaint filed by the Income Tax (IT) department.
The I-T department, during the initial probe, had allegedly found unaccounted and misreported wealth linked to Shivakumar.
