Kerala minister says vigilance probe into 2006 road project continues
In short
Kerala minister PK Basheer said a vigilance probe linked to CEC Gyanesh Kumar and a 2006 road project is still going on. He said a preliminary enquiry was ordered because there were discrepancies in the earlier 2006 probe by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau.
This matters because it involves a senior election official and possible questions over an old public works case. The reporting does not say what the probe has found or whether any action has been taken.
