CBI Files Chargesheet in Kerala LIFE Mission Case Amid Calls for Investigation Transfer
The Kerala LIFE Mission housing project case involves allegations of financial irregularities, with the CBI naming six accused, including business figures and the project itself. Former MLA Anil Akkara has urged the state to transfer all Vigilance files to the CBI, citing concerns over parallel investigations affecting probe efficiency. The CBI has filed a preliminary chargesheet but has yet to include some key officials, with further evidence expected from the Vigilance bureau. The case has political implications involving former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other officials.
