The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has requested the Kerala police to register an FIR against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T Veena, and son-in-law P A Mohammed Riyas in connection with alleged bribery involving Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL).

The CPI(M) is also addressing internal party concerns amid these developments.
