Setback for Veena in monthly payment case; SFIO hands over 134 crucial documents to ED

KOCHI: The Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) handed over crucial documents in the monthly payment case to the Enforcement Directorate. The ED received 134 important documents that were presented in court. The action was taken following an application filed by the ED in the court handling corporate cases in Kochi. CMRL opposed this move, but the court ordered the documents to be handed over, rejecting the objections. However, the delay in receiving the documents despite the court order has put the investigation in crisis.

The SFIO handed over important documents, including the agreement between Veena and CMRL and Veena's income tax returns, to the ED. The ED hopes that the availability of these documents will strengthen the investigation, as Veena Vijayan has been summoned for the second round of questioning on the 29th of this month. Meanwhile, Veena had requested time to produce several documents during the earlier questioning.
