ED raids Pinarayi Vijayan's residences in CMRL-Exalogic case
Raids on a former CM's residence raise concerns about potential abuse of power.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on the residences of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his daughter, T. Veena, in Kannur and Thiruvananthapuram, alleging that her defunct firm received substantial monthly retainers from Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) between 2017 and 2021 without rendering any tangible service. The raids triggered protests across the state, with CPI(M) activists allegedly vandalizing vehicles carrying ED officials. The ED is verifying bank transactions of Ms. Veena while stating no incriminating documents were found at Mr. Vijayan's residence.
