The Enforcement Directorate (ED) writes to Kerala police seeking the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter, and his son-in-law, Mohamed Riyas, in connection with the CMRL-related alleged pay-off case. The move follows ED investigation findings related to suspected financial irregularities tied to payments made in the matter.
According to reports, the ED alleges that money is routed through consultancy arrangements involving Veena’s firm. During searches, the ED says it finds material, including handwritten notes, that it links to fund transfers. The ED’s communication cites legal provisions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and it requests police action. Sources also indicate the ED has approached the Kerala Director General of Police (DGP) for the FIR.
Vijayan and his family members state they will respond through political and legal channels. Both outlets describe the ED’s request to initiate criminal proceedings, while the detailed allegations and evidence are presented as part of ED’s case based on its investigation.
