The IT team arrived at the resort 2 days earlier

It has come to light that 2 officials from Central Income Tax Department had checked into the Eagleton Resort two days ahead of the raid on Energy Minister D K Shivakumar, reported Kannada Prabha.

The 2 officials had booked themselves into 2 rooms in the Eagleton Resort, where the Gujarat legislators are staying,  in the name of a private company, 2 days prior to the raid. The 2 were assigned the job of closely observing the movements of D K Shivakumar, MP D K Suresh and the Gujarat MLAs.  They were constantly in touch with their superior officers and transmitting all information directly. Based on their information, on Wednesday,  the 8 officials entered the  premises and straightaway barged into the room where D K Shivakumar and others were sitting stunning them.

Meanwhile, on behalf of all Gujarat MLAs staying at the resort, MLA Thakur visited the Koti Anjaneya temple on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway near Manchanayakanahalli and offered special prayers. He was accompanied by Ramanagara taluk panchayat member Ganakal Nataraju. Thakur prayed for 5 minutes after the pooja and returned to the resort.

Another MLA Gyasuddin Shaik came out of the resort and spoke to the media persons and said the IT raid on Minister D K Shivakumar is because of the shelter he gave us, we will give a fitting answer to all such evil schemes of BJP.  No MLA staying at Eagleton Resort has offered to return back.  KPCC president and members have spoken to us and given us strength. At the Aug 8 elections for Rajya Sabha the victory of Congress candidate Ahmed Patel is guaranteed, he said.
