Someone is trying to control me through CBI: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, June 1: “Some people have jealous on me. So, they wanted to control me through CBI. CBI officials have been torturing the local officials to name MP DK Suresh”, former minister DK Shivakumar alleged.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that “the CBI officials have been forcing the local officials to admit the role of MP DK Suresh in exchanging money after demonitisation. We have come from a village and I don’t know why these people are targeting us. I am a chess player and I know how to checkmate the opponent. More strong, more enemies and less strong, less enemies. Same thing happened to me. They love me more. So, they have targeted me”, he alleged.
“The CBI officials have interrogated our personal secretaries and relatives several times. Moreover, the CBI officials have been forcing our relatives and personal secretaries to accept that Rs 10 lakh is belonging to DK Suresh. But both of us have not done any mistake”, he said.
I am a common man
“Don’t ever compare me with Revanna. It is not true that both I and Revanna are fighting for Energy portfolio. They are the sons of a big family. I am a common man. If the fruit is on the tree even after ripening, people will throw stones at it. If you are good looking, everyone looks at you. I have not applied for anything. I am from Congress party. Don’t compare me with Revanna. I don’t need his relationship. Let Revanna keep all portfolios and become Chief Minister. His part is different and mine is different”, he said.
“Both Congress and JDS have come together to form the government. Both of us work together. If I am required, Congress would retain me. Time will tell everything”, he said.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
