Vigilance Raid

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) has seized Rs 50 lakh in a raid conducted on 12 April 2021, Monday at his house at Manal, near Azhikode in Kannur.[15]

The vigilance team conducted raids simultaneously at his houses at Kannur and Kozhikode for allegedly amassing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The raid was conducted by the vigilance team from Kozhikode.

A court here in November last had ordered a Vigilance probe against the Azhikode MLA on allegations that he amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

The court's direction came on a petition by the social worker and lawyer M R Hareesh alleging that Shaji had amassed wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income and had received funds from abroad, misusing his official powers.

The petitioner, who sought a direction to the Vigilance for a probe, also alleged that Shaji filed false details regarding his wealth in his election affidavit.[16]

The MLA has properties in Wayanad, Kannur, and Kozhikode districts, worth a minimum of Rupees two crore, the complaint alleged.

The Enforcement Directorate had also registered a case in connection with the receipt of overseas funds by Shaji and had searched his residence in Chirakkal in Kannur late last year.

Shaji claims that, he made his fortune from ginger cultivation in Karnataka and Wayanad. Ginger cultivation was not included in the affidavit on property information as it was not fixed income.[17]

Controversies

K. M. Shaji is known for his homophobic and transphobic speeches. He has said that LGBTQ are the worst kind of people, homosexuality is unnatural and transgender people must be given counselling to accept they are cisgender - a statement which promotes conversion therapy; an unscientific and harmful practice banned in India by the Madras High Court and the National Medical Commission.[18][19][20]
