Bengaluru, June 17: Congress leader D K Suresh, the younger brother of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with a money laundering investigation involving a cheating case.
The federal agency has asked Suresh, a former Member of Parliament, to appear on June 19 to record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), according to official sources.

The case centres around 33-year-old Aishwarya Gowda, who was arrested by the ED in April after raids on her and Congress MLA Vinay Kulkarni.
Gowda is accused of deceiving multiple people by promising high returns on investments in cash, gold, and bank deposits, while allegedly claiming connections with top political figures, including falsely portraying herself as D K Suresh’s sister.
Suresh had previously filed a police complaint in Bengaluru asserting that his name was being misused by the woman. The ED is believed to have also recorded MLA Vinay Kulkarni’s statement during its probe.
The money laundering case involving Gowda, her husband Harish KN, and several others, originates from multiple FIRs lodged across various police stations in Karnataka.
