ED Seizes Veena’s Handwritten Notes on ₹85 Lakh Transfer to Dubai
· India · The Hindu, NDTV
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) seized handwritten notes from T. Veena, daughter of Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan, that detail an alleged ₹85 lakh transfer to Dubai. The notes list names of persons, amounts handled and spent, and show figures exceeding the sums she received from Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL). Searches conducted on premises linked to Ms. Veena and CMRL promoters on 27 May 2026 yielded the documents. The ED also found a SIM card purchased in another person’s name for a Wi‑Fi router, suggesting possible use of hawala channels for the money transfer. Earlier on 18 August, the Kochi zonal office searched nine Kozhikode premises under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for alleged corporate fraud and bribes paid by CMRL, following findings by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office.
Why it matters
The seizure may trigger prosecution of T. Veena and officials at CMRL, potentially affecting the company’s reputation and the political standing of the opposition party in Kerala. The case also highlights enforcement efforts against alleged illegal financial flows within the state.
