THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:Opposition Leader V S Achuthanandan on Sunday demanded that the Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau (VACB) should immediately record the bribery charge levelled by Kerala Bar Hotels Association working president Biju Ramesh against Excise Minister K Babu under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code. “As Biju Ramesh has made it clear that he is ready to give the statement under Section 164, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau must provide him the opportunity,’’ Achuthanandan said. Achuthanandan said that the latest developments vindicated his demand that an FIR should be registered against Babu. “The VACB is not prepared to do this and is merely supporting the UDF Government,’’ Achuthanandan said.
