The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated a money laundering case against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter, Veena Vijayan, and her IT firm over alleged illegal payments from a private mineral company. The case, registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), follows a complaint by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO). The investigation arises from allegations that Veena's company, Exalogic Solutions, received ₹1.72 crore from Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd (CMRL) without providing any services. The Karnataka High Court recently dismissed Exalogic Solutions' plea against the SFIO probe.
