KOCHI: CPM Ernakulam district secretary CN Mohanan has demanded an investigation into money laundering and tax evasion by Congress leader Mathew Kuzhalnadan MLA. Mohanan demanded an investigation in a press conference held in Kalur.

CPM alleges that Mathew Kuzhalnadan has committed a huge tax evasion. Mathew Kuzhalnadan and his two partners showed only Rs 1.92 crore as the price for the residence and resort, which was registered with the Rajkumari Sub-Registrar Office on March 10, 2021. But in the affidavit given to the Election Commission, it was said that he owns land worth 3.5 crores. It is also said that 3.5 crore is for half share. CN Mohanan also explained that the real price of the land will be around 7 crores. CPM demands a thorough investigation into this.

'He is getting paid, but not in the right way. A complaint has been filed with the government and vigilance. Mathew Kuzhalnadan is a person who makes accusations agaisnt everyone except the President of the United States'. CN Mohanan said that the CPM will start a political struggle on the issue.
