M.M. Varghese, the CPI(M) Thrissur district secretary, appeared before the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in Kochi for the third time in connection with the multi-crore scam at the Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank in Thrissur. This appearance follows earlier questioning sessions on November 24 and December 1.
Varghese expressed his commitment to cooperate with the ongoing probe. The ED had summoned him again, especially after two accused, Biju M. Karim and Sunil Kumar T.R., former manager and secretary of the bank, expressed their willingness to become prosecution witnesses. They seek to turn approvers in the case, with the court likely to consider the plea on December 21.
