A huge gathering can be seen chanting slogans protesting the raid on his properties.
Mithun Rai, the President of the Youth Congress in Dakshina Kannada, can be seen speaking from his car while driving out through the crowd.

The BJP leaders are trying to threaten the Kanakapura rock [DK Shivakumar].
We will not give up.
They are trying to attack our President." Apart from DK Shivakumar, premises of his family members and his associates are also being searched.
