ED Raids Former Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s Residence in Money Laundering Probe
Kerala politics is facing another major controversy after India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple locations linked to former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan — including his residence in Thiruvananthapuram.
The investigation is connected to alleged financial transactions involving his daughter T. Veena’s IT firm, Exalogic Solutions, and Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL).
According to reports, investigators are examining payments worth nearly ₹1.72 crore that were allegedly made without actual software or IT services being delivered.
The raids came just one day after the Kerala High Court reportedly refused to halt the ED investigation, giving the case fresh political momentum.
Supporters of the Left government are calling the action politically motivated. Opposition parties, meanwhile, describe it as proof of deep-rooted financial irregularities and misuse of influence.
Beyond the headlines, the case highlights a recurring question in Indian politics: Where does governance end and family-linked business interests begin?
With both ED and SFIO now investigating the matter, the controversy is likely to remain at the center of Kerala’s political debate for a long time.
