A private minerals firm had an agreement with Veena Vijayan's IT firm for consultancy and software support services. But no service was provided.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter is under investigation after complaints about alleged fraud within Veena Vijayan's company. The probe has put the ruling CPI(M) in a fix as it gears up for the campaign ahead of Lok Sabha polls.
The probe was ordered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to investigate complaints about illegal transactions between a private company and Ms Veena's IT firm. Ministry officials confirmed that a joint director at the Office of the Director General of Corporate Affairs had ordered the probe.
According to local media reports, the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd allegedly paid Rs 1.72 crore to the Chief Minister's daughter. The payments were made between 2017 and 2020.
