BENGALURU, INDIA - AUGUST 2: Karnataka energy minister D K Shivkumar gestures from his residence towards the media as Income Tax department raids his houses and properties across the country on August 2, 2017 in Bengaluru, India. The Income Tax department on Wednesday morning raided Karnataka energy minister DK Shivakumar's residence as well as Eagleton Golf Resort where Congress Gujarat legislators (MLAs) are staying.
