ED summons DK Suresh over financial deals with Aishwarya Gowda, money laundering

BENGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a summons to former Congress MP DK Suresh in connection with a money laundering case. The summon was issued after ED officials conducted a raid on the residence of Vinayak Kulkarni, who allegedly had financial dealings with DK Suresh and Aishwarya Gowda.

DK Suresh has been asked to appear before the ED for questioning on Thursday, but he has requested more time, citing prior commitments. He has asked for permission to appear next Monday instead of Thursday.

DK Suresh said, “ED officials came and handed me a summons at 12:30 pm. I was out, but I returned after learning they had arrived. The summons didn’t specify the case, but after looking at the documents, I understood what it was about. They asked me to appear on Thursday, but I have a prior commitment, so I orally informed them that I’ll come on Monday instead. I am now officially informing them via email”.DK Suresh claimed that he has not engaged in any illicit financial dealings and that Aishwarya Gowda’s claims of being his sister are false. He stated that he had filed a complaint against her for misrepresenting herself as his sister.

The ED has sought several documents from D K Suresh, which he claims are unrelated to the case. He has stated that he will cooperate with the investigation and respond to the ED’s queries during the questioning.
