About incident
In an IT raid, the officials have recovered Rs 8.90 crore from a house at KR Puram and Safdarjung Enclave Flats in New Delhi. The IT officials have alleged that Rs 6.68 crore recovered from the flat belonging to Sunil Kumar was transported from Bengaluru to New Delhi through hawala method.
The IT officials who have conducted raids on the houses and offices of Shivakumar and his associates, have prepared a report based on the documents they have seized. The IT officials also investigated into the case after recovering the dairies of the accused and prepared 33-page report enlisting the allegations. The same report was handed over to the ED which registered a case against Shivakumar.
When IT officials raided the house of Shivakumar, they got a dairy and in that dairy, there was a code word ‘KG’ and IT officials suspected that hawala transaction was done through this code word. It is the fourth case registered against Shivakumar related to this case. He has been facing the charge of transporting the money through hawala means from Bengaluru to New Delhi and IT officials alleged that 8.5 crore recovered in New Delhi was a hawala money.

Bengaluru Police ask Darshan Thoogudeepa to surrender his firearm, actor yet to comply
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru police have directed murder accused Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa to deposit his licensed firearm at the nearest police station. However, the actor has yet to comply.
A police source said that the Rajarajeshwari Nagar police sent a request last month to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Administration), seeking cancellation of Darshan’s firearm licence. The request followed the Karnataka High Court granting him bail in the Renukaswamy murder case.
The police expressed concerns that Darshan, who is out on bail, could threaten witnesses using the firearm. Therefore, a notice was issued for the safe deposit of the weapon.
The case involves the murder of Renukaswamy, a native of Chitradurga, whose body was found near a stormwater drain in west Bengaluru’s Sumanahalli in June last year. The police arrested Darshan, his close friend Pavithra Gowda, and 15 others for the crime.
The High Court granted conditional bail to Darshan on December 13, who was already out on interim bail on medical grounds.
