Senior Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday for the second straight day in a money laundering case, officials said.

He appeared at the ED headquarters here, they said.

The investigating officer of the case had grilled him for over 4 hours on Friday and recorded his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the officials said.

Shivakumar is expected to be put through documents and queries through the day with a lunch break in between.

While making his first appearance on Friday, after he arrived by air from Bengaluru, the Kanakapura MLA had said he will cooperate with the ED probe.

"It is my duty (to appear)... I have to respect the law. We are lawmakers and law abiding citizens. They (ED) have summoned me... I don't know why they have called me under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)."
