Kozhikode : Vigilance seized black money to the tune of half-crore rupees from MLA KM Shaji’s house in Kozhikode. Also found in the raid were records to various transactions. KM Shaji has so far been unable to explain the source of funds used to built his two palatial houses - the construction of which also violated local body rules.
In the aftermath of bribery allegations, Shaji applied with the Municipality attempting to set right some irregularities. Eventually it came to be proven that the application too was mired with falsified records. Vigilance carried out parallel raids beginning 7 am on Monday at his house in Azhikode and Kozhikode.
