New Delhi: Bineesh Kodiyeri, son of Kerala’s Communist Party of India (Marxist) secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a narcotics case on Thursday, officials said.

He was summoned by the ED on Thursday for the third time, for questioning in connection to the Bengaluru drug scandal.

He was earlier quizzed for about six hours as the central agency wanted to trace his links with drug case accused Mohommed Anoop.

The youth wing of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) had earlier accused Bineesh of having close connections with a few members of a drug racket that was recently busted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Bengaluru.
