New Delhi: The Karnataka former Minister D.K. Shiv Kumar was arrested by the E.D officers on Tuesday at 9.00 pm in New Delhi. Shiv Kumar was interrogated by the E.D officers since four days.

  The E.D arrested Shiv Kumar on the allegations of Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The E.D which is inquiring into the Rs. 8.59 crores recovered from Shiv Kumar’s New Delhi flat, his alleged role in some hawala transactions and alleged disproportionate assets, gave no clue of an imminent arrest during the last four days. “The E.D sleuths decided to arrest D.K. Shiv Kumar when he failed to satisfactorily reply to the questions put before him. He was giving conflicting versions during questioning”.

  Shiv Kumar appeared before the E.D for the fourth time on Tuesday. He was arrested under the Provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, E.D officials said. Shiv Kumar will be produced before a local court here on Wednesday for seeking his custody.
