ED seeks 14 days custody of Shivakumar

ED sought 14-days custody of arrested Shivakumar from a Delhi court, asserting that he gave evasive replies and remained non-cooperative during the investigation into the alleged money laundering case.

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) KM Natraj told the court that there is a reason to believe that Shivakumar is guilty of laundering money and his custodial interrogation is required to confront him with documents.

"We want his custody to unearth modus operandi, ascertain family property and income source," Natraj said.

The counsel further contended that the assets of his whole family have grown phenomenally over the past few years.

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.

Besides, Youth Congress President, Srinivas BV had alleged that DK Shivakumar's health has deteriorated because of the harassment by the agency.
Former Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy had also met Shivakumar at the RML hospital on Tuesday night. 

The 57-year-old leader had earlier asserted that he has not done anything wrong and will fully cooperate with the investigating agency.
