ED findings in CMRL case can't be termed 'political witch-hunt': KPCC president Sunny Joseph

Sunny Joseph said the agency’s release and seized records support the money-laundering probe, with alleged payments of Rs 2.78 crore under scrutiny.

  • On Thursday, KPCC President Sunny Joseph stated that Enforcement Directorate findings against Veena T cannot be termed "political witch-hunting" because the CPI has not denied the facts revealed in the agency's probe.
  • The money laundering investigation centers on allegations that Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd paid Rs 2.78 crore to Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd without receiving services; Exalogic was promoted by Veena and is now defunct.
  • Evidence seized by the ED includes "handwritten" notes recovered from Veena's premises in May detailing fund transfers to Dubai, plus digital devices containing a photograph of a SIM card used for internet calls.
  • Responding to ED searches, CPI MLA for Beypore, Riyas, said on Wednesday he is "not going to get scared and run away" after the agency searched premises of his close friends in Kozhikode.
  • Joseph emphasized that the investigation should proceed legally, observing that political responses from the CPI may not gain public trust as the case advances through the judicial system.
