Moideen in connection with the multi-crore loan scam at Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank took steps to freeze his two bank accounts on Wednesday. It is reported that these accounts have around ₹30 lakh as deposit.
The ED also issued a directive to freeze the accounts of Anil Seth of Maharashtra, who deals with pledged gold, and Satheesh of Kannur, a money lender. According to reports, the ED may ask Mr. Moideen to appear for questioning soon.
