Kerala Assembly witness noisy scenes over DGP's cheating case

In a submission in this regard, Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala alleged that Nair was named as a second accused in the Rs 5 crore cheating case. 

Without the knowledge of other Directors, Sreedharan Nair pledged 6.12 acres of land belonging to Nilambur Institute of Medical Limited to secure Rs 5 crore loan, he added.

The other directors came to know this only when a notice was issued to attach the property, he said.

Demanding his ouster, he alleged that Mr Pinarayi Vijayan was keeping a tainted official in a top post.

In his reply, the Chief Minister clarified that "The court had not directed to file a case against him, But, it had only started hearing the petition."

Replying to Opposition allegation over legal advisor MK Damodaran appearing for lottery king Santiago Martin, the Chief Minister said Damodaran, who is appearing in the case as his own choice, was not receiving any remuneration from the Government.

Questioning the Government stand on the issue, the Opposition leader asked the Chief Minister “What is the guarantee that Damodaran may not appear for Jisha murder accused?"
