Former Excise Commissioner Seeram Sambasiva Rao submitted a report to the Kerala state government alleging that two senior Excise officials – Joint Excise Commissioner S. Vinod and Deputy Commissioner Ajay – were involved in corruption and bribe collection, and recommended their removal and a vigilance probe. The report also noted a close acquaintance between Excise Minister M. Liju and a bar in Kayamkulam, without details. CPI(M) state secretary M.V.
