ControversiesAccused of sexually exploiting a women
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) interrogated him in 2022 in relation to the alleged sexual exploitation in the 2012 Solar scam case that took place in Kerala. In 2013, the main culprit, who had deceived individuals by making false promises about solar solutions and shares in solar energy projects, wrote a letter to the top police officer in Kerala. In the letter, she accused Hibi Eden (who was an MLA at the time and is now an MP), K.C. Venugopal, former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, former minister A.P. Anil Kumar, Congress MP Adoor Prakash, and BJP leader A.P. Abdullah Kutty of sexually exploiting her. Initially, the case was reported to the local police; however, due to the accused's dissatisfaction with the local police investigation, the state government recommended the transfer of the case to the CBI, and in August 2021, the CBI took over the investigation.
