ED Report Triggers Debate on Anti‑Corruption Action in Kerala

The Enforcement Directorate has handed over a comprehensive report to the state police chief, requesting that the case be pursued under the Prevention of Corruption Act. According to the document, payments made between 2016 and 2026—covering Vizhan’s tenure as chief minister and later through his daughter’s firm Exalogic—could be classified as illegal receipts. The report lists more than a dozen individuals, including former minister Mohammed Riyas, as potential respondents.
