Attended wedding as the groom's mother is my long-time friend: Minister R Bindu

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister R Bindu has come up with an explanation for attending the wedding of the daughter of the absconding accused in the Karuvannur bank fraud case. The minister explained that she attended the wedding as the groom's mother was her long-time friend.

"I attended the marriage as the groom's mother Latha Chandran is my long-time friend. I cannot avoid attending the wedding just because the mother of the bride is an accused in a case. The media should be ethical in this matter," the minister said.

A controversy had erupted after the pictures of the minister attending the wedding of the daughter of Ambili, an accused in the fraud case, surfaced.
