THE Wayanad unit of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) on Tuesday recorded the statements of Vijesh, the elder son of deceased Congress leader N M Vijayan, in the Sultan Bathery Urban Cooperative Bank bribery case. Vijesh gave the statement in person at the VACB office in Meenangadi.
Vijayan and his younger son died after consuming poison on December 27. On Monday, 10 days after Vijayan's death, Vijesh handed over new evidence like letters and a suicide note to the police. The VACB launched a probe into the bribery allegations against the managements of the Sultan Bathery bank and other Congress-ruled cooperative banks as well as into Vijayan's financial dealings based on the letters.
Meanwhile, Vijayan's relatives accused Congress leaders of spreading propaganda against the family. Vijesh said Congress leaders had spread news that his father ended his life over some family issue. He also alleged that Vijayan became a debtor for the party.
