ED notice to Karnataka CM's wife politically motivated: D.K. Shivakumar
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issuing a notice to Karnataka Chief Minister's wife and Minister Byrathi Suresh is politically motivated.
Speaking to the media near his residence in Sadashivanagar on Monday, Shivakumar stated, "This is similar to the case against me. It is not possible for two agencies to investigate the same case simultaneously. The Lokayukta is already investigating the matter. Courts have issued multiple judgments that once the Lokayukta is handling a case, no other agency can investigate it. I will comment further after gathering complete details."

When asked about demands for a CBI investigation into the MUDA case, he said, "In my case too, both the CBI and ED were conducting investigations simultaneously. However, agencies cannot jointly investigate the same case."
Responding to queries regarding ministers' statements about the Chief Minister's position, he clarified, "No one has made any such comments. The government is stable, and we are all working under the Chief Minister’s leadership."
