Enforcement Directorate agents raided former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s residence on Wednesday as part of a money‑laundering probe into alleged payments of Rs 1.72 crore from Cochin Minerals & Rutile Ltd (CMRL) to Exalogic Solutions, a firm owned by his daughter T Veena, covering the period 2017‑2020. The raid follows a Kerala High Court order that dismissed CMRL’s petition challenging the investigation, stating that summons under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act can be issued without a prior FIR. Earlier findings by the Income‑Tax Interim Board and a Serious Fraud Investigation Office probe had raised questions about the legitimacy of those transactions, prompting the ED to summon CMRL officials in April 2024 and continue its inquiry.
