Kerala Reopens Vigilance Probe Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar

Kerala has reopened a Vigilance probe against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over a 2006 corruption case linked to the Rs 1,600-crore World Bank-funded Kerala State Transport Project. The case involves a Malaysian manager's suicide note that allegedly named Kumar, then PWD secretary. The timing is sensitive as Kumar faces opposition calls for resignation over the SIR of electoral rolls.
