The Kerala High Court has sought the State’s response on a petition for bail by Kiran P.S., one of the accused in the attack on Enforcement Directorate officials during a raid on the former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s house in May.
The crime was registered against 25 accused under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, for assault and damage to official vehicles. Around 300 people were initially booked for the alleged assault. The matter will be considered on July 30, connected with the bail petitions of two other accused.
The ED had raided the houses of Mr. Vijayan in Kannur and Thiruvananthapuram in connection with a long-running inquiry into whether his daughter T. Veena’s now-defunct firm, Exalogic, had received sizeable monthly retainers from Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL), a mining company, allegedly without rendering any tangible service.
