"Give Us Documents": Karnataka Lokayukta To DK Shivakumar In Assets Case

The case against DK Shivakumar was transferred to the Lokayukta after the Siddaraimah government withdrew the consent to the investigation by the Central agency, issued by the earlier BJP government.

The Karnataka Lokayukta has asked Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to submit documents in a disproportionate assets case against him it is investigating. The case was transferred to the Lokayukta after the Siddaraimah government withdrew the consent to the investigation by the Central agency, issued by the earlier BJP government.

"There has been a CBI case against you. The case has been transferred to the Lokayukta. During the CBI investigation you have submitted information and documents. Do submit the same documents and information to Lokayukta too," read the notice to Mr Shivakumar.

Mr Shivakumar has been accused of amassing assets worth Rs 74.93 crore disproportionate to his income. Mr Shivakumar has denied any wrongdoing and said he would fight the case "legally". The BJP, he repeatedly said, was harassing him by misusing central agencies.
