File Picture
A Delhi court has extended till 17 September the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody of Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivakumar in connection with a money laundering case.
An ANI report stated that special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar asked the investigating agency to take the accused for medical examination after his counsel submitted he is “suffering from high blood pressure” and his health condition is “serious”.
The court also directed the ED to file its reply on the bail plea of Shivakumar by Monday. The Congress leader was produced before the special judge at the Rouse Avenue Court Complex earlier today after the expiry of the ED’s nine-day remand.
During the course of the proceedings, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) KM Natraj, appearing on behalf of the agency, said Shivakumar was “evasive” and gave “irrelevant replies” during his custodial interrogation.
