ED Summons Congress Leader DK Suresh In Money Laundering Probe Linked To Bengaluru Woman

While the central agency asked Suresh to appear on June 19, Suresh has said he will present himself on June 23, citing prior commitments.

The ED had launched a money laundering investigation into the case in April, which led to the arrest of Aishwarya Gowda on April 24. According to an official, she deceived victims by falsely claiming close ties with powerful political figures, including pretending to be the sister of DK Suresh. Her alleged pitch included promises of unusually high returns on investments in gold, foreign currency, and bank deposits. Authorities have seized several luxury vehicles as part of the probe.

Previously, Suresh filed a complaint with the Bengaluru police, alleging misuse of his identity. “It is true that I have received a summons from the ED officials. I have not done any financial transactions with Aishwarya Gowda. I was instructed to appear for questioning on June 19, but I have informed them that I will appear on June 23 due to my prior commitments to two official programs,” he said.
