The Malayalam television channel Jaihind, associated with the Congress party, faced a significant setback as it received a notification from the Bengaluru division of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seeking information on investments made in the channel by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar.
The Managing Director of the channel, BS Shiju, has been instructed to present all relevant documents before the central agency in Bengaluru on January 11.
In response to the notice, BS Shiju assured the media that he will comply with the CBI's request and provide all necessary documents during his appearance before the investigative agency.
This development stems from the CBI's initiation of a case against Shivakumar related to alleged Disproportionate Assets, and the notice to Jaihind is part of the ongoing investigation into the matter.
