ED refuses exemption to DK Shivakumar’s interrogation: Issues summons to present tomorrow

Bengaluru, October 6, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): The Enforcement Directorate has issued summons to KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar to appear before it for interrogation concerning the National Herald scam.
D.K. Shivakumar had pleaded the ED to exempt him from appearing for the interrogation tomorrow as he is taking part in the ‘Bharath Jodo Yatra’. However, the ED has refused to his plea and has issued notice to appear before the ED tomorrow.
Responding to this at Nagamangala today, the Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar informed, “As I am the incharge of the ‘Bharath Jodo Yatra’, I couldn’t appear before the ED for interrogation, and hence I had pleaded for exemption tomorrow. However, they have issued summons to attend tomorrow itself. I will discuss about this with our leaders and will do as they say. I will decide whether I should attend or not after the meeting.”
