Congress leader D K Suresh has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged cheating case linked to a money laundering investigation involving a local woman. D K Suresh is the younger brother of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Suresh, a former Member of Parliament, has been asked to appear on June 19 to provide a statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This summons comes amid ongoing investigations into the activities of 33-year-old Aishwarya Gowda, who was previously arrested.

The ED alleges that Gowda exploited her claimed connections with high-profile politicians, offering fraudulent returns on gold, cash, and bank deposits. She reportedly used Suresh's name to further her schemes, leading him to file a complaint with the Bengaluru Police against the misuse of his identity.
