Bineesh Kodiyeri awaits investigation by the NCB

As the Enforcement Directorate's investigation concludes, Binesh Kodiyeri has been remanded in prison. He awaits the investigation by the Narcotics Control Bureau as the central agency looks into his links with Mohammad Anoop, key accused in drug peddling case.

Bengaluru: Binesh Kodiyeri, son of former Kerala Home Minister Balakrishnan Kodiyeri, has been remanded in prison after the Enforcement Directorate's investigation. The Narcotics Control Bureau has sought his custody for investigation.

The ED officials have been collecting information on illegal money in Bineesh's account. The investigation revealed that Binesh was handling luxury hotels in Bangalore and Kerala.

It has also come to light that a lot of money has been deposited from these hotels to Binesh's Account. As the huge amount of money accumulated in his account merely from hotel administration has drawn the suspicion of the ED officials, the probe continued.
