The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a money laundering case against Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena Vijayan, her IT company Exalogic Solutions and some others to probe a case of alleged illegal payments made by a private mineral firm, Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd, to her and the company, sources informed.

The agency has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA) Act and it is likely to summon those involved in the matter, sources informed further.

The case emanates from an Income Tax Department investigation where it was alleged that Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd made an illegal payment of Rs 1.72 crore to Exalogic Solutions between 2018 and 2019, even though the company had not provided any service to the mineral firm.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
