after-sabarimala-gold-theft-allegations-hit-padmanabhaswamy-temple
Amid allegations of gold theft at the Sabarimala Lord Ayyappa Temple, another major Kerala shrine has come under scrutiny in a similar controversy. A report submitted by DGP Ravada A. Chandrasekhar to the Home Department has flagged suspected gold theft and security lapses at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. According to Manorama News , the DGP report claimed that nearly 78 grams of gold bars and coins offered by devotees to the temple have gone missing over the past few months. It also alleged that a multi-tiered gold lamp, which was removed for maintenance, was replaced with a silver substitute without any official documentation or records. In addition, the Vaira Nama inside the sanctum sanctorum, which was removed for repair, has reportedly not been reinstated for the past six months. The DGP report recommended that all gold and silver valuables currently stored outside the temple vaults be shifted to a centralised strong room. It also suggested that all valuable offerings made by devotees be properly documented and kept in designated lockers under strict police surveillance. The report further noted security lapses, stating that certain individualsincluding temple staff, security personnel, and associates of the royal familywere entering the temple without undergoing mandatory security checks. Police have also observed that some of these individuals are close to Aditya Varma of the royal family and are known to regularly visit the Kowdiar Palace. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple had hit national headlines in 2011 after several underground vaults at the shrine were opened for the first time, following a Supreme Court order to list the temple's assets. Of the six known vaults, five were opened and recorded, revealing a vast collection of gold, jewellery, and precious stones, estimated to be worth billions of dollars. But Vault B, remains sealed due to religious sensitivities. Meanwhile, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Kerala Police is already investigating the Sabarimala gold theft case and has made multiple arrests in connection with the probe. The missing gold is reportedly linked to gold-clad copper plates of the Dwarapalaka (guardian deity) idols, as well as the door frames of the Sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) at the hill shrine, which is managed by the Travancore Devaswom Board.

ed-raids-ex-kerala-cm-pinarayi-vijayans-house-in-money-laundering-case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted searches at the residences of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and former Public Works Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation. Riyas, the Beypore MLA, is married to Vijayans daughter, Veena Vijayan. The probe is linked to allegations that Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL), a private company, made payments amounting to Rs 1.72 crore to Exalogic Solutions, an IT firm owned by Veena, between 2018 and 2019 without receiving any services in return. Investigators suspect that the funds were routed for illegal payments to politicians, political parties, media organisations, and public servants. Although Vijayan, a CPI(M) politburo member, has not been questioned in the case so far, officials indicated that his statement could be recorded as the investigation progresses. ED teams simultaneously carried out searches at 10 locations across Kerala, including Vijayans rented residence near Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram, where Veena also resides, and his house in Kannur. Raids were also conducted at the offices of CMRL and at premises linked to senior company officials, including Managing Director Sasidharan Kartha. The agencys action came a day after the Kerala High Court dismissed a petition filed by CMRL seeking to quash the ED proceedings in the case. In its order on Tuesday, the High Court clarified that the ED can initiate inquiries and issue summons even without a formal FIR for a scheduled offence. The court observed that the existence of an FIR is not a mandatory requirement for issuing summons under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The CPI(M) strongly condemned the ED raids at Vijayans residence, describing them as a targeted attack orchestrated by the BJP-led central government against a senior Opposition leader. This is a targeted attack on a top Opposition leader by the BJP government. Such actions will not intimidate Pinarayi Vijayan or the CPI(M), the party said in a post on X. The party also raised questions over the role of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, asking whether it was complicit in the ED action. CPI(M) Kannur District Secretary K.K. Ragesh said the ED raids are part of a design by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to politically target Vijayan and the Left party. He said the action was similar to the way former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party were targeted using central investigative agencies. Ragesh also alleged that the Congress and the BJP were colluding to destroy the CPI(M). The current Kerala CM aspirant V.D. Satheesan and V.D. Savarkar seem to share more than just similar initials. It is already evident that Satheesan is working hand in hand with the BJP, he said. (With inputs from Nirmal Jovial)

ed-probe-linked-to-veena-vijayan-case-gets-major-boost-as-kerala-high-court-rejects-cmrls-petition
In a significant setback to Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) as well as former Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed a writ petition filed by the company and its top executives seeking to quash the Enforcement Directorates (ED) money laundering investigation. The EDs probe stems from findings of a 2019 Income Tax raid on CMRL, which allegedly revealed that the company had inflated expenditures by over Rs 133.82 crore between 201213 and 201819 by booking bogus expenses under transportation and sludge-handling heads. The cash generated was reportedly used for illegal payments to politicians, political parties, media houses, and public servants. A particularly damaging allegation involves Rs 1.72 crore paid by CMRL to Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd, a company owned by Veena Vijayan, daughter of Pinarayi Vijayan. The company claimed the payment was for software services, but investigations found that no such services were actually rendered. The Interim Board for Settlement (Income Tax) accepted the findings of the Income Tax Department regarding the inflation of expenses by CMRL, the generation of cash for illegal payments, and the fictitious payment of Rs 1.72 crore to Veena Vijayan and her company, M/s Exalogic Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The Settlement Commission also disallowed 30 per cent of the expenses claimed by CMRL as eligible expenses. The EDs money laundering probe is now linked to this transaction. The summons issued by the ED to CMRL officials specifically demanded documents relating to agreements and payments made to Exalogic Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and Veena Vijayan. Notably, the court, in its verdict delivered today, held that the writ petition challenging the ECIR registered by the ED and the summons issued under Section 50 of the PMLA was premature. The court observed that the mere issuance of a summons does not create a cause of action for invoking writ jurisdiction. It also ruled that the immunity granted to CMRL by the Income Tax Settlement Commission does not extend to proceedings under the PMLA, as the two statutes operate independently. The Settlement Commission constituted under Section 245B of the Income Tax Act has not been vested with any power to deal with complaints regarding money laundering and can only deal with settlement of cases [under the Income Tax Act], the court observed. Dismissing the writ petition, the court clarified that the ED can initiate inquiries and issue summons even in the absence of a formal FIR for a scheduled offence. The court noted that the existence of an FIR is not a precondition for issuing a summons under Section 50 of the PML Act. Notably, during the pendency of the petition, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) filed a complaint alleging fraud under Section 447 of the Companies Act an offence scheduled under the PMLA. The SFIO made this move on April 3, 2025. The court considered this subsequent event and held that it further strengthened the EDs case. After the court pronounced its decision, the CMRL sought a 2-week extension of the interim order passed by the Court, deferring the summoning of the CMRL officials till the disposal of the plea. However, the Court did not grant this extension and orally remarked that extending the stay was not justified as the ED cannot take coercive action (like forcing appearance or arrest) without issuing a fresh notice or summons. The court also said that if and when the ED issues a new notice, CMRL can always approach the court again if needed.

nava-kerala-sadas-assault-case-five-cops-suspended-including-former-cm-pinarayi-vijayans-gunman
Kerala Police has suspended five officers accused in the infamous Nava Kerala Sadas assault casethe attack on Youth Congress workers in Alappuzha during the Nava Kerala Sadas outreach programme led by former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The suspended officers were part of Vijayans security detail, including his gunman. The officerAnil Kumar, S. Sandeep, Vipin, Shaiju, and Arunwere suspended after the Special Investigation Team (SIT), constituted by the new government, recommended strong departmental action.Anil Kumar, the first accused in the case, has served as Pinarayi Vijayans gunman since 2001. According to the SIT report, the actions of the Chief Ministers security personnel violated the Central Governments 'Yellow Book' guidelines governing VIP security. Under these guidelines, the role of a VIP security team is limited to evacuating and protecting the VIP during a conflict situation, while maintaining law and order is the responsibility of the local police. However, on December 15, 2023, members of the security team allegedly assaulted KSU district president A.D. Thomasnow the Alappuzha MLAand Youth Congress state secretary Ajay Jewel Kuriakose after they showed black flags at the Nava Kerala bus carrying Pinarayi Vijayan. At the time, Vijayan had defended the incident by describing it as a rescue operation. The SIT reportedly concluded that the incident amounted not only to a violation of protocol but also to a serious security lapse. Observations by the SIT: Security personnel assigned to VIP protection are required to remain close to the VIP at all times and travel in escort vehicles positioned ahead of and behind the VIPs vehicle. They are permitted to stop only if the VIP vehicle stops. However, the SIT found that in this case, the Chief Ministers vehicle had already moved ahead when members of the security team stopped their vehicle, got down, and allegedly assaulted the protesters. During this time, they were no longer accompanying the Chief Minister. The SIT also reportedly found that local police officers at the scene had already restrained the protesters and brought the situation under control before the security personnel arrived and allegedly attacked them. The report further pointed out that the security team is officially authorised to carry only handguns. However, they allegedly used long cane sticks resembling police batons to beat the protesters. According to the report, the sticks were longer than regular police lathis and had not been officially issued by the police department. Earlier, the Crime Branch under the previous LDF government had given a clean chit to the Chief Ministers gunmen and security personnel, terming the incident a legitimate rescue operation. The finding drew widespread criticism and was later rejected by the court, which ordered a reinvestigation. Despite the court directive, no further action was taken at the time. Following the change in government, the cabinet decided to reopen the case and constituted an SIT for reinvestigation. Meanwhile,anAlappuzha court today disposed of the anticipatory bail pleas filed by gunmen Anil and Sandeep. The court also sharply criticised the SIT, observing that the investigation report was incomplete. The anticipatory bail pleas were disposed of after the court noted that the charges invoked against the gunmen were bailable offenses.

In a new turn of events, the Congress high command is reportedly considering putting forward AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge as a compromise chief ministerial candidate in Karnataka as a solution to the ongoing tussle between outgoing CM Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. The current strategy so far involves offering Siddaramaiah a Rajya Sabha seat (that will be contested soon) and making his son Yathidra a cabinet minister to smooth out the transfer of leadership. The BJP had successfully implemented the method with Nitish and Nishant Kumar in Bihar. While the party have already agreed on following the Bihar BJP model for a transfer of leadership in the state, Siddaramaih is reportedly unhappy with the fact that his seat would be filled by Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. While the two are on a temporary truce now, the two leaders had a power tussle in 2023 after Siddaramiah was chosen by the Congress high command as chief minister. Many believed Shivakumar was better suited for the job. It is in this scenario that Congress may offer Mallikarjun Kharge as a compromise candidate. With Kharge in Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi would be able to clear the path for KC Venugopal to take up the seat as the new president of the AICC, HT reported. The move would bring major restructuring to the centre of the party. KC Venugopal was one of the leading candidates for chief ministerialship in Kerala. The seat went to VD Satheesan. Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, and state in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala are all reportedly in favour of a tranfer of power in Karnataka. DK Shivakumar, meanwhile, did not respond to reporters who asked him if he would be chief minister. He just smiled and left in his car. After Congress won the Karnataka assembly election in 2023, reports said that the an alternate power-sharing system was agreed on. It involved D K Sivakumar taking over as CM when Siddharamiah completes half his tenure. The halfway mark was in November 2025.
