Bengaluru, Oct 1: In another jolt to arrested Congress leader D K Shivakumar, the Enforcement Directorate on Monday summoned his brother, Bengaluru Rural MP DK Suresh, for questioning in a money-laundering case.

Earlier, Shivakumar's daughter Aisshwarya had to appear before ED officials for questioning in Delhi.

Sources said Suresh has been asked to appear before ED officials on October 3.

Suresh had declared assets worth Rs 338 cr in his election affidavit while filing nominations for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. ED officials are expected to question Suresh regarding the source of wealth and his transactions with his brother.

The arrest of Shivakumar, a Vokkaliga leader, and the subsequent denial of bail had put the opposition parties - Congress and JD(S) - on an offensive. In a recent protest, they had accused the Centre of targeting the opposition leaders and had termed it 'Anti-Vokkaliga'

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
