Shivakumar left the ED HQ on Friday evening after being grilled for hours. Speaking with mediapersons outside the ED's headquarters, Shivakumar said he was asked about Young Indian and AJL financial transactions.
He said the ED asked him about his family and also sought other details.
"I have requested to give me time to send them all the documents they required. I still have to furnish a lot of information," he said.
The ED had summoned Shivakumar and his brother, DK Suresh to record their statements.
