Lashing out at opposition, BJP leader Sambit Patra said “Congress and Corruption has become synonymous. Unaccounted cash, Hawala transactions and corrupt deals, these are the pillars on which Congress party sit”.
He further accused the party of running a havala racket saying “We have proof of a Hawala network that helped in the transfer of money from Karnataka to AICC”.
He also claimed that BJP has statements of DK Shivkumar's driver who told I-T Dept about how money weighed in kilos were sent to AICC.
DK Shivakumar accused of money laundering:
A money laundering case was filed against Karnataka minister of irrigation and medical education after Rs 8 crore were seized from a Delhi apartment.
As per the complaint filed against the minister, his aides used to keep Shivakumar’s black money in a Delhi apartment. This comes after Enforcement Directorate seized over Rs 8 crore from a house in the national capital.
As per the allegation, money was transported on the order of Shivakumar. Several important revelations have been made during the investigation in the case.
As per sources, ED is likely to quiz some top brass in the case.
The sources claim that, this money was transported to Delhi via havala and later was distributed on the order of the mantri.
Since statement against Karnataka government minister has been made by government officer itself, therefore the case is very crucial. The news has come as a jolt to both JD(S) and ally Congress.
