ED summons Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan after Supreme Court refuses urgent hearing on FIR challenge

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a summons to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan after the Supreme Court declined to grant an urgent hearing on his petition challenging an FIR filed against him.

Vijayan had approached the apex court seeking urgent intervention in the matter, but the bench refused to expedite the hearing. Following this development, the ED proceeded with the summons to the Chief Minister.

The summons marks an escalation in the investigation being pursued by the central agency against Vijayan. The exact nature of the allegations and the FIR details remain central to the legal proceedings currently underway.
