Disproportionate wealth case
A special unit of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) on Monday raided the residential houses of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) legislator K.M. Shaji in Kannur and Kozhikode for allegedly amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. The raids were a follow-up to a case registered against Mr. Shaji that he had amassed extra income of ₹1.4 crore in the past nine years. The raids, led by VACB Superintendent of Police S. Sasidharan, that began at 7. 30 a.m. continued late in the evening. Sources said the disproportionate wealth to Mr. Shaji’s legitimate sources of income included his houses, landed property, and shares in realty investments. The raid team checked details of his assets as well as his financial dealings. An amount of ₹50 lakh was also recovered from his house in Kannur. Sleuths were verifying the source of the money.
