KOCHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will question former minister V K Ebrahim Kunju in the money laundering case. The ED had served a notice asking him to appear before its Kochi office today for interrogation in the money laundering case.

The ED has also asked him to produce the details of his income and assets for verification. The notice was served on Kunju in connection with the alleged deposit of around Rs 10 crore into the account of IUML mouthpiece, Chandrika daily in 2016. The money was allegedly credited through two banks following demonetization.

The Kerala High Court had asked the agency to probe the case in response to a public interest litigation petition filed by Kalamassery-native Girish Babu seeking an investigation against Kunju for alleged money laundering. The petitioner had alleged that unaccounted money was transferred into two bank accounts of Chandrika in Kochi on November 15, 2016.
