KOCHI: The follow-up action regarding the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) two years ago to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s son, Vivek Kiran, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, remains unknown. The ED has not commented on reports about the summons, and it is learned that Vivek Kiran did not appear despite receiving it.

The notice was issued after multiple rounds of questioning of M Sivasankar, who was then the Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary, in connection with the corruption linked to the LIFE Mission flat complex construction in Wadakkanchery, Thrissur. The summons, issued by ED Assistant Director P.K. Anand, asked Vivek Kiran to appear on February 14, 2023, and to submit details such as property documents, bank account records, Aadhaar, and PAN card.
