Thiruvananthapuram, April 26 (NationPress) In her first public response regarding the allegations surrounding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter, Veena Vijayan, along with her now-defunct IT company Exalogic, she has refuted the claims circulating in the media about her statement to the SFIO.
“I have observed this news trending in the media since Saturday. It is accurate that I have provided my statement to the SFIO officials, but I have never claimed that either my IT firm or I have received funds from CMRL without offering any services. I reiterate this assertion,” her statement emphasizes.
Previously, the Kerala High Court granted relief to both Vijayan and Veena, as the bench mandated a status quo for a duration of two months regarding a trial court’s decision to acknowledge a complaint lodged by the SFIO in a financial fraud case linking Veena and CMRL.
This month, the SFIO submitted its charge sheet concerning the allegedly unlawful agreement between Veena’s now-defunct IT firm Exalogic and CMRL, after discovering that her firm had purportedly received around Rs 2.70 crore monthly from CMRL for mining sanctions.
According to the SFIO, these transactions were executed without any actual services being provided.
The SFIO had submitted its charge sheet to an economic offenses court in Kochi, and the process of issuing summons to all involved parties was underway when this significant relief was granted by the High Court.
The case is set to be reviewed on the first day the Court reconvenes after the summer recess in June.
