Kerala govt seeks governor's nod for probe against former minister Aryadan Muhammed in solar panel scam

The Kerala government has sought the governor's nod to carry out a probe by the vigilance bureau against former minister Aryadan Muhammed in the solar panel scam.

The Kerala government on Wednesday decided to carry out an investigation by the vigilance bureau against senior Congress leader Aryadan Muhammed on the basis of a complaint filed by a prime accused in the solar panel scam that she had given Rs 40 lakh as a bribe to him when he was power minister in the previous UDF government in the state.

The decision was taken at the state Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
