In a big relief to Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, the Supreme Court today dismissed a 2018 money laundering case against the Congress leader.
The Congress leader was arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in September 2019 in connection with this case. The Delhi High Court granted him bail the next month. Mr Shivakumar had then accused the BJP of political vendetta and said he had full faith in the judiciary.
