The Supreme Court seeks Karnataka's response on reviving a CBI corruption probe against Shivakumar.

The Supreme Court has requested responses from the Karnataka government and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar regarding a CBI plea to revive a corruption investigation against him. The CBI alleges Shivakumar accumulated assets beyond his known income from 2013 to 2018. The Karnataka cabinet recently withdrew consent for the CBI probe, a decision previously granted by the BJP government in 2019. The High Court had dismissed the CBI's petition as non-maintainable.
