The Congress leader was questioned by ED twice last year in the money laundering case. Lok Sabha MP and Shivakumar's brother DK Suresh was questioned by the ED in the case.

The ED is interrogating the brothers and several other Congress leaders after Income Tax Department filed a chargesheet in the case. The investigation is linked to donations made by the Congress leaders to Young India, a company that was owned by National Herald.

Earlier, Senior Congress leaders comprising Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi have been questioned by the ED in the National Herald money laundering case.
