Swapna Suresh challenges ED’s inaction on a 2023 summons to Vivek Kiran, son of Kerala CM, in a gold smuggling and money laundering case.

Gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh has criticized the Enforcement Directorate for not acting on a 2023 summons issued to Vivek Kiran, son of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in connection with the Life Mission housing project money laundering case. She questioned why the ED has not pursued him despite the notice remaining active, contrasting the treatment of ordinary citizens with political figures. The summons, linked to a Rs 4.4 crore kickback and funded by the UAE Red Crescent, emerged during a high-profile meeting between Vijayan and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Suresh, on bail after her own arrest, hinted at further revelations and questioned the plausibility of Vivek Kiran’s alleged luxury hotel purchase in the UAE, suggesting possible misuse of influence.
