Congress leader K Muraleedharan condemned the Onam festivities organized by a person under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate, held inside a police station.
Congress veteran K. Muraleedharan publicly criticised a recent Onam celebration that was organised by an individual currently facing an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation, the event taking place within the premises of a police station.
The accused, whose name has not been disclosed, is under scrutiny for alleged financial irregularities linked to a high‑profile money‑laundering probe. Holding a cultural festivity inside a police station, especially by someone under investigation, was described by Muraleedharan as a breach of decorum and an attempt to garner public sympathy.
Muraleedharan urged law‑enforcement agencies to focus on the investigation rather than allowing the accused to stage celebratory events that could undermine public confidence in the justice system.
The police station’s senior officials declined to comment on the specifics of the celebration, stating that routine administrative matters are being handled in accordance with standard procedures.
