Beleaguered former Minister and CPI(M) MLA A.C. Moideen chose not to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning on Thursday in connection with the ongoing probe into the alleged multi-crore loan scam at the Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank.
Mr. Moideen reportedly informed the ED about his inconvenience in appearing on Thursday In response to an ED summons. Instead, he has sought more time to appear for the interrogation. The investigative agency had shot off the summons to the former Minister on August 25. This was after the ED conducted hours-long raid at his office and residence at Thekkumkara, near Wadakkanchery, last Tuesday.
Reportedly, Mr. Moideen received the notice this Monday and said that he cannot turn up at such short notice and also cited other previous engagements for Thursday.
