The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is set to expand its investigation into the CMRL-Exalogic financial transactions case to include PA Mohammed Riyas, a former minister and husband of Veena T (Veena Vijayan), daughter of former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
In an unusual move, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has approached the Kerala High Court challenging the Thiruvananthapuram Sessions Court's order granting bail to SFI leader Harish Kumar, the ninth accused in the case relating to the attack on ED officials following a raid at former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's rented residence in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) broadened the scope of its probe into the CMRL payoff case to investigate if the first Pinarayi Vijayan government granted favours in exchange for payments to Exalogic Solutions, the company owned by the former CM’s daughter.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) interrogated T. Veena (Veena Vijayan, daughter of former Kerala Chief Minister) for a second time on Thursday at its Kochi zonal office.
The development came after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reached Prateek Jain's residence during the raids and took away some documents.
The Enforcement Directorate issued a statement and rubbished West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's allegations. It said the raids on the I-PAC premises were not targeted at any political party and were linked to a coal smuggling case.
I-PAC was founded by political strategist Prashant Kishor ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, and is currently working with the Trinamool Congress and the state government run by it. The collaboration started after the 2019 General Elections, and was seen as a key driver of the landslide won by the TMC in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly Election.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday filed a charge sheet in connection with the sand smuggling case, within 60 days of the arrest of Arun Saraf and other accused.
