Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar, who is under Enforcement Directorate's custody, on Wednesday said that "political vendetta" has become stronger than the law in this country.
In a video posted from his Twitter handle, Shivakumar is seen sitting on a chair with policemen standing around him.
"Political vendetta has become stronger than the law in this country," he is heard saying in the video.
Earlier, a Delhi court remanded Shivakumar, arrested in a money laundering case, in ED's custody till September 13.
Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar passed the order after the ED sought 14-day custodial interrogation of Shivakumar, arrested on Tuesday night, claiming that he was evasive and non-cooperative in the probe and there was "phenomenal growth" in his income while he was in important position.
