The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has approached a court in Kochi seeking access to documents collected by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in a money laundering case linked to Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) and involving former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena T.
The ED probe pertains to allegations that CMRL made payments amounting to ₹2.78 crore to Exalogic Solutions Private Limited without receiving any services in return.
The agency has requested the court to direct the SFIO to provide copies of documents collected during its investigation.
The ED registered the PMLA case based on a prosecution complaint filed by the SFIO before a court in Ernakulam in April 2025.
CMRL came under the scanner of central agencies after an Income Tax Department raid in January 2019 allegedly detected irregularities, including certain expenses suspected to be fictitious and amounting to around ₹130 crore.
