DK Shivakumar is facing another problem?
Bengaluru, June 20: The statement of Karnataka Bhavan former public relation officer Anjaneya that “the money found in my house was not mine and it belonged to DK Shivakumar” has fixed Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar in a legal complication.
But DK Shivakumar reacted that “I have not done any mistake. I hope that I would get justice in the court of law. I will attend the IT investigation. I will not speak anything now. I will disclose everything at a right time”, he said.
Meanwhile, BJP demanded the resignation of Minister DK Shivakumar. But Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy asked as to why Shivakumar should resign from the post.
The notice served by the IT to Shivakumar asking him to attend the investigation has created turmoil in the political circle. In view of this sudden development, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy discussed this issue with his father and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda who advised the CM to take decision cautiously.
About the incident
When the Income Tax department sleuths conducted raids on the offices and house of DK Shivakumar, the IT cell also raided the houses of Shivakumar’s close aids. During the raid, the IT sleuths found more than Rs 12 crore cash. But Rajendra, Sunil Sharma and Anjaneya, said to the close associates of Shivakumar, gave different statements. But after seven months of the raid, they have given different statements to the IT in writing and this has given new twist to the entire episode.
When IT raided on four flats in Delhi, the sleuths found Rs 8.56 crore. The IT officials also confiscated a diary, some notes which have some code words, from the house of Rajendra, who has been looking after Sharma Transport business. Now, the IT officials found sources of those materials. It was mentioned in the diary that Rs 5 crore was given to AICC through a person Mulagund. It was said that the amount was given to the AICC on the direction of Shivakumar.
