A vigilance investigation was conducted in connection with the land purchased by Ajith Kumar in the name of his brother-in-law at Kowdiar in Thiruvananthapuram. The court was considering a plea filed by lawyer Nagaraj against this.

The petitioner also informed the court that the chief minister's political secretary P Sasi had gone out of the way and helped ADGP. Nagaraj had mentioned in his plea that the clean chit given to Ajith Kumar was due to his top influence. The court, considered the plea and rejected the clean chit after examining the vigilance report and other details. With this, there will be investigation against Ajith Kumar again.

The question was raised from the beginning as to how a person drawing government salary could build a house worth crore. However, the vigilance gave him a clean chit after stating that Ajith Kumar had taken a loan and also borrowed money from his brother-in-law.
