Shivakumar condemns Delhi Police summons in NH case

Bengaluru, Dec 6 (UNI) Congress leader and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Saturday expressed shock over the notice served on him by the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police following the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) filing of a chargesheet, calling it politically motivated harassment aimed at senior Congress leaders.
“Yes, it is surprising. I never expected this because the ED had already summoned me earlier, and I had responded to all their queries,” Shivakumar said.
He questioned the legality and necessity of the police registering a separate case after the ED had concluded its investigation. “The chargesheet has been filed by the ED. Then how can the police register another case? This raises a very big legal question, which we will take up in the court of law,” he said.
