The court of Delhi has extended the judicial custody till 15th October in the money laundering case of D. K. Shivakumar. Also, the court has allowed the ED to interrogate D. K. Shivakumar in Tihar Jail on 4th-5th October. It was the ED that sought extension of judicial custody of Shivkumar and sought permission to interrogate him in Tihar Jail. D. K. Sivakumar was arrested by the Federal Probe Agency on 3rd September in a money laundering case. He was also sent to Tihar Jail by the Enforcement Directorate for custodial interrogation.
The Enforcement Directorate had filed a money laundering case against Sivakumar in September last year. Apart from this, a case was also registered against Hanumanthaiah and others who worked in Karnataka Bhavan in New Delhi. The case is based on a charge sheet filed last year by the Income Tax Department against these people in a special court in Bengaluru. These people are accused of alleged tax evasion and transactions of crores of rupees for hawala. The Income Tax Department has accused accused D. K. Sivakumar and his alleged aide S. K. Sharma of regularly sending ‘large scale’ unauthorized cash through hawala medium with the help of three other accused.
