New Delhi, Sep 18: D K Shivakumar, water resources minister of Karnataka is in trouble again. Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a FIR against him for possession of illegal currency to the tune of Rs eight crore in a flat in the city.
Shivakumar, who heaved a sigh of relief on Saturday, September 16 for having secured a bail from the special court of economic offences, is facing the possibility of an arrest in this fresh case registered by the ED.
In addition to Shivakumar, FIR is also registered against Anjaneya Hanumant, staff and Rajendra, former staff personnel of Karnataka Bhavan in the city.
Income Tax (IT) department had registered four cases against Shivakumar and others for evading tax with regards to the illegal currency that was found in a flat in the city. However, the court had granted conditional bail to all the accused in these four cases.
"We are ready to face any inquiry. We have got all the documents. We are ready to answer the questions of the ED within the framework of law," said D K Suresh, MP and brother of Shivakumar.
