KOCHI: A new case will be registered against Vina T, the managing director of CMRL-Exologic Solutions and daughter of Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan, in connection with the mysterious financial transactions. The FEMA has decided to register a case and investigate the transfer of Rs 85 lakh to Dubai. A detailed probe will be conducted to whom the money was transferred. The ED will also examine Veena’s financial transactions beyond her income.
Meantime, the ED will conduct a detailed probe into the election funds of former minister Mohammed Riyaz. The ED had found that Veena had given money to an advertising company named Solas belonging to CPI(M) Kozhikode district secretariat member P Nikhil, who fell in 2021. It is not clear whether the money received from CMRL was given to the company. The ED got the details of the dealings with the Solas company from Veena’s diary. The ED had earlier said that pages 1 to 9 of the diary seized during a raid at Veena’s house on May 27 were crucial in the case. According to the report, Veena had transferred around Rs 85 lakh to Dubai.
