Chargesheet links Kodakara black money to BJP; Thiroor Satheesh given security

The police chargesheet in the Kodakara black money case connects stolen funds to the BJP, alleging close ties between accused Dharmarajan and party leaders. Former BJP office secretary Thiroor Satheesh is set to provide a statement, claiming the stolen black money was stored at the BJP office. Legal constraints limit police action, as only the Enforcement Directorate has jurisdiction over black money cases. The ED’s lack of progress in the case, implicating the BJP, has raised suspicions ahead of by-elections. The state government has decided to conduct further investigation, following Satheesh’s allegations of cash-filled bags labeled as election campaign materials being stolen in a staged accident.
