Delhi police issued a notice to DCM DK Shivakumar in connection with the National Herald case

Regarding National Herald Case, Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has issued a notice to Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, asking him to provide financial and transactional details. The notice, sent on November 29, asks him to submit the documents/information to the EOW office by December 19th.

Investigators have sought complete details of his personal background and his affiliation with the Congress party.

"On whose instance/instructions were you or your associated entities made above said payments in the name of donation? Were you knowledgeable about the end use of the funds, which were transferred to M/s Young Indian (YI)? If yes, provide the complete details, " reads the notice.

Responding to media on this Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar says, "It is very shocking to me. I had given all the details to the ED. ED had also summoned my brother and me. We had given all the notice. There is nothing wrong. It is our institution. We, as congressmen, have also supported the institution... There is nothing like hide and seek. Everything is in black and white. I don't know why, even after the ED also filed a charge sheet, there was no need for the police to register a case. We will take up this case and fight it in the court of law. This is harassment... It is our money. We can give to anyone who may like it when we pay taxes. There is nothing involved. Already, the PMLA case is over... They have already filed the charge sheet, so what more can they do? Just to harass Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and all the supporters, they are trying to create confusion..."
