NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ruled to dismiss the proceedings initiated against Karnataka deputy CM DK Shivakumar in a 2018 money laundering case on Tuesday.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet against him and several others associated with him in the case. The case stemmed from a charge sheet (prosecution complaint) filed by the Income Tax Department in 2018 before a special court in Bengaluru.
The charges include allegations of tax evasion and hawala transactions worth crores. The Income Tax Department has accused Shivakumar, the state Congress committee chief, and his alleged associates of regularly transporting significant amounts of unaccounted cash through ‘hawala’ channels with the assistance of three other accused.
