Why is Kerala CM's daughter T Veena under ED scanner? Know all about the Rs 1.7 crore payment case

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday dismissed allegations against his daughter, T Veena, in the ongoing Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) probe into an alleged Rs 1.7 crore illegal payment as politically motivated. Vijayan alleged that the action was aimed at targeting him personally, stating, "You can keep hoping for my resignation," in response to demands from the Congress and BJP. The SFIO is investigating a case involving payments made by Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) to Veena's now-defunct IT firm, Exalogic Solutions, reportedly for services that were never rendered. Reports suggested the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also preparing to initiate a money laundering probe.
