KOCHI: KPCC chief K Sudhakaran will appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the financial fraud allegedly committed by self-styled antiquities dealer Monson Mavunkal. The ED had served notice to Sudhakaran and two police officers asking them to appear for interrogation. He will be questioned at the ED office Tuesday morning. Sudhakaran clarified that he is not worried about the questioning.

Monson's ex-employee Jinson had testified that Sudhakaran had received Rs 10 lakh from Monson Mavunkal's house in Kaloor. Anoop, the complainant in the case, had also given a statement that the money was handed over in November 2018. However, Sudhakaran denied the allegations. He is being questioned in connection with the financial transactions including this.


The ED's intervention follows a crime branch investigation into the scams committed by Monson. The ED will examine whether black money and hawala money were used in the transactions worth crores. K Sudhakaran and the police officers are being questioned after the crime branch arraigned them.
