PicThe Enforcement Directorate has registered a money laundering case against Karnataka Minister D K Shivakumar and few others on the basis of an alleged tax evasion and hawala transactions case.
According to official sources, the case has been filed based on a charge sheet filed by the Income Tax Department against him early this year before a special court in Bengaluru on charges of alleged tax evasion and hawala transactions worth crores of rupees.
The IT Department has accused Shivakumar and his associate S K Sharma of transporting the huge amount of unaccounted cash on a regular basis through hawala channels with help of three other accused. The IT department had alleged that all five accused conspired to evade tax.
