ED summons DKShi's brother DK Suresh

Bengaluru: In yet another shock to the state Congress party, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday summoned Congress MP DK Suresh.

The ED has asked DK Suresh to appear within a week before the agency.

ED had registered a case after the IT department filed a complaint against DK Shivakumar for undeclared wealth and income.

The ED had in September last year registered the money laundering case against Shivakumar, Haumanthaiah, an employee at the Karnataka Bhavan in New Delhi, and others.

The case was based on a charge sheet (prosecution complaint) filed by the Income Tax Department against them last year before a special court in Bengaluru on charges of alleged tax evasion and ‘hawala’ transactions worth crores.

The I-T department has accused Shivakumar and his alleged associate S K Sharma of transporting a huge amount of unaccounted cash on a regular basis through ‘hawala’ channels with the help of three other accused.
