ED issues summons to Pinarayi Vijayan on October 23 in money laundering case
- On Friday, the Enforcement Directorate summoned former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to appear at its Kochi office on October 23 in connection with the CMRL-Exalogic money laundering investigation.
- Investigators allege Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited improperly transferred Rs 2.78 crore to Exalogic Solutions, a now-defunct firm formerly run by Vijayan's daughter Veena, portraying payments as IT consultancy fees.
- On Thursday, a division bench of the Kerala High Court dismissed appeals filed by Vijayan, Veena, and former minister Mohamed Riyas, upholding a single-judge order directing the Keralam Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to register a case.
- Vijayan petitioned the Supreme Court to challenge the High Court's directive, with senior advocate Siddharth Luthra seeking protection from arrest for the 82-year-old leader facing imminent prosecution.
- The Supreme Court declined an urgent hearing on Friday, though Chief Justice India Surya Kant indicated a special bench might be constituted during the upcoming Dussehra break next week, subject to judge availability.
