Veena Vijayan Called For ED Questioning In CMRL-Exalogic Probe
The ED summons to Veena Vijayan has brought fresh attention to the CMRL-Exalogic money laundering case in Kerala.
The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Veena Vijayan, daughter of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, for questioning in the CMRL-Exalogic money laundering case. Reports said she has been asked to appear before the agency on June 12, 2026, as part of the ongoing probe.
Fresh Focus On CMRL-Exalogic Payments
The case is linked to alleged financial dealings between Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd and Exalogic Solutions Private Limited, a company associated with Veena Vijayan. The probe has drawn attention because of claims that payments were made to Exalogic for services allegedly not clearly established.
High Court Order Boosts ED Probe
The investigation gained fresh momentum after the Kerala High Court allowed the ED to continue its probe into the CMRL-Exalogic matter. Reports said the court rejected attempts to stop the agency’s investigation, giving the ED room to move forward with further questioning and document examination.
Political Heat In Kerala
The summons has created a fresh political flashpoint in Kerala because of Veena’s link to Pinarayi Vijayan. Earlier, ED searches were also reported at locations connected with the case, including premises linked to Vijayan and his daughter’s firm.
What Happens Next
The summons does not mean guilt, but it marks an important stage in the investigation. The focus will now be on Veena Vijayan’s questioning and whether the ED calls more company-linked persons as it examines the money trail.
