Thiruvananthapuram: A team of vigilance department officials on Saturday arrived at the official residence of former Kerala chief minister V.S. Achuthanandan to quiz him on the controversial land transfer case, which occurred when he was chief minister during 2001-06.
This is the second time that vigilance department officials are taking statements from the present Leader of Opposition in the Kerala assembly.
Mr Achuthanandan has been named the first accused by the vigilance, after a preliminary inquiry.
The first information report has already been filed before a court in Kozhikode early this year.
The investigating team has named four Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officials, including the then principal secretary to Mr Achuthanandan, Sheela Thomas, as accused in the case.
The others in the list include the then revenue minister and Communist Party of India (CPI) leader K.P. Rajendran, besides the personal assistant to Mr Achuthanandan, Suresh.
