The CBI filed an FIR against DK Shivakumar on Saturday after the state government granted permission to conduct an inquiry against the politician in September last year. Ponnanna said that on September 28 this year, the Karnataka High Court has granted an interim stay on the CBI’s probe sanctioned by the state government.

“They (CBI) have not given any information about the charges against Shivakumar. On September 28 High Court gave interim relief to Shivakumar and it stands so at least until the next hearing in a couple of weeks. If this is the case how can CBI raid his properties? They have not mentioned if it’s the same case or another case,” AS Ponnanna said. The CBI conducted searches at residences and properties belonging to Shivakumar on Monday morning. Searches began at 6 am simultaneously at 14 locations - 9 in Bengaluru, 4 in Delhi and one in Mumbai. The CBI in Delhi has recovered Rs 50 lakh cash at one of Shivakumar’s prosperities in the national capital.
