Ernakulam: The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Kaloor has rejected the crime branch’s plea to obtain documents held by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Karuvannur co-operative bank scam case. The ED argued before the court that investigation information and seized documents cannot be transferred to another agency.

Meanwhile, a new case has been filed against PP Kiran, the main accused in the Karuvannur co-operative bank scam. This latest case is based on a complaint from the South Indian Bank alleging financial fraud amounting to Rs 3.5 crore.
