Congress MP and brother of DK Shivakumar, DK Suresh was also present at the meeting.

DK Shivakumar was granted bail by Delhi High Court on Wednesday in connection with a money laundering case.

The HC gave bail to Shivakumar on a bond of Rs 25 lakh plus two sureties.

The bail was granted on the condition that he will not influence witnesses or tamper with the evidence, leave the country without prior permission of the court and make himself available for investigation when required.
