Kodakara Hawala Scandal

After a few weeks of 2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly election result day, allegations came against the BJP leadership of Kerala for carrying illegal black money (Hawala), which was related to 2021 election.[3] The money was seized at Kodakara.[3] The Kerala Police handed over the case to Enforcement Directorate.[4] The money was looted at Kodakara on 3 April 2021, just 3 days before the election.[5] The police revealed that the actual amount was Rs 3.5 Crore and it was brought for the BJP's election campaign.[5] BJP state president K. Surendran was the chief accused in the case.[5] The UDF alleged that it was due to the mutual understanding between LDF and BJP that the Kerala Police didn't investigate it first.[6]
