THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: An interim inquiry report against ADGP MR Ajithkumar, regarding allegations of illegal wealth accumulation, construction of a luxury house, flat sales, and tree felling at the Malappuram SP’s camp office, has been sent back by Vigilance Director Yogesh Gupta. The Vigilance Director directed SIU-1 DySP Biju Pappachan to examine Ajith Kumar's financial sources to confirm there was no illegal accumulation of wealth. Vigilance sources stated that the final report will be submitted to the government within two weeks.

The Vigilance Director stated that the report needs to be comprehensive and should not lead to complaints in the future. The primary inquiry by Vigilance was based on a complaint from PV Anvar. The investigation team has collected the account details of Ajith Kumar from various banks. It has also collected property details of his family members. The officials did not find anything unusual in these details. Ajith asserts that some of the properties were passed down to him from his family. The Director has ordered a thorough investigation into the income sources used for acquiring additional properties.

Ajith had taken a loan of Rs 1.5 crore from SBI for the construction of a house in Kowdiar. He had informed the government about the construction of this house and had included it in the property list. In 2009, he bought a flat in Kuravankonam for Rs 37 lakh and took a loan of 25 lakh for it. The flat was handed over by the developers in 2013. After four years, he sold it for Rs 65 lakh. The property was registered in his name only 10 days before the sale. In his complaint, Anvar alleged that this was done so to launder black money. Ajith defended this, stating that the price of the flat increased due to the rise in its value in 8 years. He had also informed the government about the purchase of the flat.

The interim report further stated that Ajith had no involvement in the smuggling through the Karipur airport and that he had no connection whatsoever with the tree-felling incident.
