Kerala government not cooperating in Karuvannur Bank scam: ED seeks custody of two accused for interrogation. ED alleges Aravindakshan helped Satheeshkumar launder proceeds of illegal loans. Agency questioned persons on Oct 9.
The Kerala government is not cooperating with the investigation in the Karuvannur Service Co-operative Bank scam, according to the Directorate of Enforcement (ED).
The agency has raised the allegations in a special court considering the money laundering case while seeking the custody of P.R. Aravindakshan and Jilse, the two who were earlier arrested in the case. The agency will get the duo in custody for one day for interrogation.
The agency had alleged that Mr. Aravindakshan was instrumental in helping Satheeshkumar, the first accused in the case, launder the proceeds of the loans that were illegally disbursed from the bank. It had questioned a few persons in connection with the scam on October 9.

After being repeatedly disrupted for three consecutive days over issues ranging from the Governor’s address and alleged disrespect to the national anthem to demands for the resignation of the Excise Minister, among others, normalcy finally returned to the Legislative Council on Friday, with proceedings commencing.
