CMRL-Exalogic case: UDF govt holds fire on ED report

UDF government is weighing its next move in CMRL-Exalogic case after receiving AG’s opinion on ED report. Rather than acting solely on central agency’s findings, the government may consider an independent preliminary probe, potentially through an SIT, before deciding whether to register an FIR against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T Veena and son-in-law PA Mohammed Riyas.
