The Enforcement Directorate has summoned former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena T and officials of sand mining company Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) for questioning in a money laundering case.
Officials said Veena has been asked to depose at the central agency’s zonal office here on June 12. Her statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
CMRL managing director Sasidharan Kartha and other company officials are among the nine others who have been summoned for questioning on different dates beginning this week, the officials said.
The investigation pertains to alleged irregularities in CMRL’s financial transactions and its links with Veena’s now-defunct company Exalogic Solutions Private Limited.
