Thiruvananthapuram, May 27: Tension prevailed in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday after alleged supporters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) attacked a vehicle belonging to the Enforcement Directorate during searches linked to a money laundering investigation.
The incident occurred near the residence of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at Bakery Junction while ED officials were carrying out searches connected to the CMRL financial case.

According to reports, protesters gathered in large numbers outside the residence and allegedly vandalised the ED vehicle using helmets, stones and plastic bottles.
Security personnel deployed at the spot were also reportedly attacked during the unrest.
Police and senior party leaders later intervened to bring the situation under control.
