The Enforcement Directorate has asked Kerala police to file a criminal complaint against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his daughter Veena, as reported by The Indian Express.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has formally requested the Kerala police to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) against the state's chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, and his daughter Veena. The directive, cited by The Indian Express, comes amid an ongoing financial‑crime probe that the ED is conducting.
According to the report, the agency has not disclosed the specific allegations that prompted the request, but the move signals a potential escalation in the investigation involving the political family. Kerala police have yet to confirm whether they will act on the ED's demand.
The development adds a new dimension to the state's political landscape, where the ruling Left Democratic Front has previously faced scrutiny over financial matters. Analysts note that any FIR against a sitting chief minister could have significant legal and electoral repercussions, though concrete outcomes remain uncertain at this stage.
