BENGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) levelled serious allegations against Bineesh Kodiyeri, arrested in the Bengaluru drug case.

Latheef was in possession of the money obtained through drug trafficking and both have a partnership in the Old Coffee House in the capital city, said ED.

The ED has decided to make the two sit together and question them to get more details on it. All documents will be examined in the presence of the two. The remand report produced in the court by the ED has mentioned the main findings against Bineesh.

Bineesh formed event management companies in Kerala and Karnataka in the name of Muhammed Anoop and Rijesh Raveendran. There should be a probe on these companies.

The ED in their remand report mentioned that some had testified during probe that Bineesh had used and sold drugs including cocaine.

Between 2012 to 2019, Bineesh transferred Rs 5,17,36,600 to various accounts of Muhammed Anoop, the main accused in the drug case.
