Nine people including United Electrical Industries Limited (UEIL) managing director S.R. Vinayakumar were arrested for allegedly gambling with money in a raid in Trivandrum Club on Monday.
The government is likely to initiate a departmental inquiry against the public sector unit official, who is also the brother-in-law of the late CPI (M) leader Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
Acting on the basis of a tip-off, the Museum police arrested the accused persons and let them off on bail after charging them with provisions of the Kerala Gaming Act, 1960. They were nabbed from a cottage that was booked in Mr. Vinayakumar’s name around 7.30 p.m.
