The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday stayed further proceedings against Bineesh Kodiyeri, son of former Kerala State secretary of CPI(M) Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, in a money laundering case registered against him for allegedly financing illegal drug trade. Justice Hemant Chandangoudar passed the interim order on a petition filed by Bineesh.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered a case against him alleging that the petitioner was involved in financing the drug business of Mohammed Anoop, the prime accused, and others involved in a drugs case registered by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
