Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], Feb 20 (ANI): The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau on Thursday conducted a raid at the residence of ex-health minister and Congress leader VS Sivakumar in Thiruvananthapuram in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
The Bureau had registered a case against Sivakumar and three others in the matter on Feb 18.
Last week, the Kerala government had given clearance for registering a vigilance case against Sivakumar.
This comes after the bureau, based on preliminary enquiry, sought the permission of Kerala government to register a case. The state government had sought the approval of Governor as per norms and after getting his nod the Home Secretary has now issued the orders.
Meanwhile, Congress claimed that the probe against VS Sivakumar is politically motivated.
Sivakumar, who was the health minister in the Oommen Chandy-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government, said that the case had earlier been probed by VACB and he was given a clean chit. (ANI)
