ED arrests Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's former Principal Secretary M Sivasankar
Feb 15, 2023Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's former Principal Secretary M Sivasankar was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) last night, in connection with the Life Mission project case. The case involves the alleged violation of the Foreign Contribution (Regulations) Act in the Life Mission project, which intended to provide homes to the poor who lost their houses in the floods of 2018.
Sivasankar had retired from the service on January 31st this year. The case surfaced after the gold smuggling case came to light in June 2020 in which Sivasankar was jailed. The state government then had approached the Kerala High Court to stop the probe, but it dismissed the pleas and said that an ongoing CBI probe should continue in the case involving senior government officers and contractors.
