The bail applications of CPI(M) Wadakkanchery municipal councillor P.R. Aravindakshan and C.K. Jilse, an accountant of the Karuvannur Service Co-operative Bank, were dismissed by the Special Court trying the offences registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on October 27, 2023 (Friday).
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) had arrested the two earlier in connection with the multi-crore bank fraud case. The reasons for dismissing the bail application will be known when the court uploads the order.
The ED probed the money laundering angle in the case after the Kerala Police registered an FIR in the bank fraud case.
