Seems like it is a very tough time for the Congress party leaders as one by one the leaders are getting under the net of ED and CBI. After, P Chidambaram under the CBI net, it is time for DK Shivakumar now. On getting to the details it is known that senior Congress leader and one of the party’s superior troubleshooters, DK Shivakumar who was being investigated under the alleged money laundering case by ED, was arrested yesterday evening.
The Enforcement Directorate has been reported saying that DR Shivakumar was not at all cooperating with the investigation hence it is required him to take into custody for questioning him. Yesterday, night DK Shivakumar was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, by the Enforcement Directorate for a medical check-up. From the reports, it was also known that ED will produce Shivakumar in court today to seek his custody.
As soon as Shivakumar got arrested, he congratulated the BJP on his Twitter handle. He posted saying,

I congratulate my BJP friends for finally being successful in their mission of arresting me.
The IT and ED cases against me are politically motivated and I am a victim of BJP’s politics of vengeance and vendetta.

I appeal to my party cadre, supporters and well-wishers to not be disheartened as I have done nothing illegal.
I have full faith in God & in our country’s Judiciary and am very confident that I will emerge victorious both legally and politically against this vendetta politics.
On to the arrest of DK Shivakumar, Former Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy expressed his views on Twitter saying, “After days of interrogation, without allowing even a day’s break for the festival, ED now cites non-cooperation to arrest @DKShivakumar. The ruling govt is using investigation agencies to oppress those opposition leaders who they think are a threat to their interests”.
