Hello
Ratheeshan K (38), secretary of Karadka Agriculture Welfare Cooperative Society for the past 12 years, has vanished into thin air.
The party has about 100 "undisclosed" immovable assets in the form of office buildings in the Thrissur district.
ED has asked the party district secretary MM Varghese to produce the documents related to the party's assets in the district while appearing for an interrogation on April 22.
The court expressed concern over the ED's prolonged inquiry and asked what the agency was doing.
Poor people invest their hard-earned money and when it is lost, they lose faith in cooperative societies, the court said.
Talking about the alleged irregularities and frauds in cooperative banks, Pinarayi Vijayan said such corrupt acts were isolated and committed by those who are "greedy".
