Kerala High Court Grants Bail to Accused in Attack on ED Officials After Search
The Kerala High Court granted bail to several individuals accused of attacking Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials after a search at former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's residence linked to alleged financial irregularities involving his daughter's firm and a sand mining company. The ED described the attack as a coordinated, pre-planned assault aimed at obstructing the investigation, while the accused and related parties deny wrongdoing. The court acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations but cited delays in investigation and lack of prior records in granting bail.
