The raids at the residence of Karnataka minister D K Shivakumar have ended. The Income Tax department had carried out raids for the past three days at his residence and 63 other locations.
Karnataka’s Energy Minister, D K Shivakumar is a worried man.

Contrary to claims that are being made that the IT department raid was a witch hunt to target the Gujarat MLAs being hosted by Shivakumar in Karnataka, the truth of the matter is that this raid was planned months in advance.
