New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate will produce senior Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivakumar before a court in New Delhi on Tuesday. The agency is set to demand the custody of Shivakumar to question him regarding money laundering charges.
The ED on Tuesday evening had arrested Shivakumar in connection with an alleged money laundering case.
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.
