The standoff between the police and the Commissionerate of Central GST, Excise and Customs over an investigation into gold smuggling through the Calicut International Airport took a new turn on Saturday when a police team led by DySP Moosa Vallikkadan raided the house of a GST inspector at Kozhikode.
This time the raid on GST inspector Sandeep Nain’s quarters was with a warrant from a magistrate. And, the police team is learned to have found nothing incriminating from Mr. Nain’s quarters.
On October 12, the police had raided Mr. Nain’s quarters, confiscated his mobile phone and the car and taken him forcibly to Malappuram as part of an investigation into a gold smuggling racket involving Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Assistant Commandant Naveen. Both Mr. Nain and Mr. Naveen hail from Haryana and are friends.
