ED raids underway in Keralam in CMRL pay-off case involving Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter
Raids in Kozhikode are a follow-up to searches conducted on May 27 at Pinarayi’s then rented house in Thiruvananthapuram, his ancestral home in Kannur, and residence of former Public Works Minister and Ms. Veena’s husband P.A. Mohammed Riyas
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) initiated search operations in Kozhikode, Kerala, on August 18, 2026, as part of an investigation into alleged financial transactions between Exalogic Solutions, a now-defunct firm owned by Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter T. Veena, and Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL). The raids targeted eight locations, following earlier search operations on May 27, 2026, at various residences including Vijayan's rented house, his ancestral home, and the former Public Works Minister's house. The ED had previously frozen ₹18.36 crore in 242 accounts identified during the earlier searches.
