The Kerala government on Monday decided to order a judicial probe into the circumstances leading to the resignation of a second minister from the cabinet, said chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan to reporters here. “He (Saseendran) handed over his resignation and it was sent to Kerala governor P Sathasivam yesterday (on Sunday) itself and it has been accepted,” chief minister Vijayan said. “I have told the Chief Minister that there are loose ends in the case made out against me and welcomed a probe into it. The Chief Minister will decide on the nature of the probe,” Saseendran told the media. Saseendran is the second minister to resign since the LDF took office.
