Flyover Scam: Vigilance Court Declines Plea Seeking Custody of Ex-Kerala Minister

Kochi: A vigilance court on Tuesday declined a vigilance department appeal, seeking custody of ailing former minister K Ebrahim Kunju, arrested by the agency in a flyover scam case, observing that it cannot be granted at this stage, considering his health condition.

The Muvattupuzha Vigilance Court stated this while considering a report submitted by a medical board constituted by it to assess the health status of Indian Union Muslim league  MLA Ebraham Kunju, whose arrest was recorded by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau at a private hospital last week where he was admitted for treatment of a type of cancer.

Anti-Corruption Bureau counsel submitted that the senior politician should be shifted from the private hospital to a government facility, where he can be provided better treatment in judicial custody. The court then directed the District Medical Officer, Ernakulam, to file a report on government hospitals having facilities to treat Kunju, who had undergone chemotherapy for cancer several times at the private hospital.
