The investigation agency has sent a notice to the former state minister seeking details of the salary of his wife Smitha from the school she worked from 2001 onwards.
Kerala's Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) has started a probe against state Congress chief K Sudhakaran in a school fund misappropriation case, days after he was arrested for allegedly receiving funds from a fake antique dealer.
The investigation agency has sent a notice to the former state minister seeking details of the salary of his wife Smitha from the school she worked from 2001 onwards. The agency also issued notice to Mr Sudhakaran's wife seeking the details of her salary.
The development is based on KPCC chief Mr Sudhakaran's former driver Prasanth Babu's complaint, which he had filed two years back in 2021 seeking a probe against Sudhakaran alleging misappropriation of Rs 16 crore collected for purchasing a school in Kannur district.
Meanwhile, Mr Sudhakaran and opposition leader V D Satheesan visited Rahul Gandhi in Delhi on Monday.
