THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) forced me sign the documents, said Bineesh Kodiyeri’s wife Reneetta. She spoke to the media after the 24-hour-long raid and questioning by the ED. She alleged that the ED threatened her to sign the statement on the ATM recovered from the house and forced her to sign in it if she wants her husband to return.

‘When they took the statement from me, they took only my mother’s iPhone. But when asked to sign the statement, they included getting an ATM card. I refused to sign the statement. They told me that they are not going to leave without getting signed the statement. They told me that Bineesh is still going to be trapped. They did not get anything from here. They tortured me mentally to get it signed. They asked me to sign if I want him to return. The ATM contained the name of Muhammed Anoop. They forced me to sign if I want my husband to return on Saturday,’ she said.

‘Bineesh is neither a don nor a boss. He is an ordinary person. He has a few friends and has no other deal,’ she said.
