KOCHI: CPM leader and former minister A C Moideen MLA may appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) tomorrow in the Karuvannur Cooperative Bank fraud case. Moideen has been directed to appear at ED's Kochi headquarters at 11 a.m. Although ED had sent him notices twice, Moideen did not appear due to various reasons.

The investigation team is gearing up to interrogate Moideen at a time when the CPM found itself on the defensive following the ED's finding that Thrissur native P Satheesh Kumar, who was arrested in the Karuvannur case, was a benami of a sitting MLA, former MP, and some high-ranking police officers.
