Kerala HC allows plea to register FIR against Vijayan based on ED report in CMRL 'bribery' case
The Kerala High Court permitted a plea to register an FIR against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan based on an Enforcement Directorate report. The ED alleged that ₹2.78 crore was fraudulently paid to Vijayan's daughter Veena's company under false pretenses. The state government opposed the move, insisting on a preliminary inquiry before any FIR is filed.
