BENGALURU: After the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted raids on educational institutions owned by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar, he said that he is being harassed from all sides, but has no fear of any raids since he has not done anything wrong.
The CBI on Monday raided the educational institutions owned by Shivakumar and the National Education Foundation in Rajarajeshwari Nagar in Bengaluru and conducted verification of documents. Currently, Shivakumar is participating in the winter session of the legislature in Belagavi when the CBI carried out raids in Bengaluru.
Shivakumar is the chairman of the National Education Foundation and his daughter Aishwarya is the secretary. The ED, Income Tax officials and CBI officials raided Shivakumar’s house earlier and they are currently interrogating him in connection with that.
Shivakumar said, “The CBI has conducted raids on our educational institutions. My lawyer has also been given notice regarding the money given by me. Apart from this, they went to our hometown and conducted inquiries on our land.” He said that cases are going on against him and they are harassing him from all sides.
“I have no fear of CBI raid; I have not done anything wrong. BJP MLC H Vishwanath has recently spoken about financial transactions, but no one issued any notices about it. Apart from this, BJP has taken steps to decimate the the opposition. We will go to court with the people in this regard”, he added. (ANI)
