ED summons Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan in Chinnakanal land deal probe

Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan, representing the Chinnakanal assembly constituency in Kerala, is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to alleged land deals in the region.

The ED is said to have registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in July this year, based on a complaint filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2018.

The complaint alleged that Kuzhalnadan and a few others colluded with specific objectives to facilitate the sale of government land at unrealistic prices and earn illegal profits.

The ED is expected to question Kuzhalnadan, who has said he will cooperate with any inquiry into the allegations.

This development poses a further challenge to the Congress party, which has already been grappling with a series of leadership struggles and issues of corruption within its ranks.

The party will need to address these concerns and work to restore public trust, especially with several crucial state elections coming up.
