ED raids on Nov. 21, 2025, target former Kerala MLA P.V. Anvar over a ₹22.3 crore loan fraud and money laundering.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids on November 21, 2025, at multiple locations in Malappuram linked to former Kerala MLA P.V. Anvar, including his residence and associates’ homes, as part of a money laundering probe tied to a ₹22.3 crore loan fraud from the Kerala Financial Corporation in 2015. The operation, involving ED teams from Chennai, Kochi, and Kozhikode, followed a vigilance inquiry into alleged forged documents and misuse of political influence to secure a loan for a single property. Authorities are examining disproportionate assets, benami holdings, and fund diversions into real estate. Anvar, who recently left the Trinamool Congress and lost a by-election, was present during the raids, which proceeded peacefully. The investigation continues under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
