Kerala Leader Condemns Assault on ED Officials as 'Serious Crime'

Following a recent attack on Enforcement Directorate officials, Kerala leader VD Satheesan emphasized the severity of the incident, calling the perpetrators criminals. He criticized the CPI(M) for inciting violence and backed the ongoing investigation involving allegations against veteran Marxist leader Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter's financial dealings.

Kerala leader VD Satheesan has branded the attack on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials during a search at former Pinarayi Vijayan's rented property a grave crime. He urged accountability for those involved, referring to them as criminals for their actions against ED personnel, which included women officers.

He lauded the swift police response amid escalating tensions at the search locations. Despite the absence of prior notification from the ED, state forces were deployed to contain the situation. The investigation, linked to financial transactions involving Vijayan's daughter, continues, as Satheesan defended the search's legitimacy, querying CPI(M)'s opposition to the probe.
