Bagalkote: State BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Sunday accused that former chief minister Siddaramaiah of used his political power to send Congress leader DK shivakumar behind bars.
Addresing pressperson here Nalin said, ” Not BJP but Siddaramaiah is responsible for Shivakumar’s arrest and our pary does not need to clarify anything on this. We have never played dirty politics
” BJP does not need to turn anyone into a hero by arresting them.
Shivakumar, arrested in a money laundering case, was sent to the ED custody till September 13 by a Delhi court on September 4.
The ED had in September last year registered the money laundering case against Shivakumar, Haumanthaiah, an employee at Karnataka Bhavan in New Delhi, and others.
Shivakumar had to appear before the ED after Karnataka High Court last week dismissed his petition challenging the summons issued to him by the agency.
The ED had filed the PMLA case against him and others based on a charge sheet (prosecution complaint) filed by the Income Tax Department against them last year before a special court in Bengaluru on charges of alleged tax evasion and hawala transactions worth crores.
The I-T department has accused Shivakumar and his alleged associate S K Sharma of transporting a huge amount of unaccounted cash on a regular basis through ‘hawala’ channels with the help of three other accused.
