Congress leader Shivakumar deposes before I-T sleuths
Bengaluru, Dec 2: Congress leader D K Shivakumar on Monday deposed before the income tax officials in connection with an alleged tax evasion case, said family sources.
"Yes, Shivakumar was summoned by the income tax officials. They have been calling the other family members and relatives," Shivakumars younger brother and MP D K Suresh told PTI.
According to the family sources, the leader had sought exemption from appearing before the officials as he has to campaign for the byelections scheduled for December 5.
But, the sleuths did not permit him and asked him to depose before them.
It is learnt that in the next few days his other family members would also appear before the officials.
The troubleshooter of Congress was recently released on bail from Tihar jail where he was lodged in a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate.

US will hold off on power plant strikes for 5 days, extending Trump deadline on Strait of Hormuz
Dubai (AP): President Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying the US will hold off on power plant strikes for five days.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social site on Monday, just hours ahead of a deadline later in the day.
Writing in all capital letters, he said the US and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war. Talks will continue “throughout the week,” Trump said.
Trump did not elaborate on the diplomatic negotiations that had taken place. Iran did not immediately acknowledge any talks between the countries.
