Supreme Court Stays Investigation in CMRL Bribery Case Against Pinarayi Vijayan
The Supreme Court has stayed the investigation and coercive actions against former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter Veena T, and son-in-law P A Mohammed Riyas in the alleged Rs 2.78 crore CMRL-Exalogic bribery case, while allowing the FIR to remain. The court directed the Kerala High Court to reconsider the matter and questioned the absence of a pre-FIR hearing. The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Vijayan for questioning, and the case involves alleged payments by CMRL to Veena's former IT firm without services rendered.
