Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has dubbed the revelations by Swapna Suresh, an accused in the gold smuggling case, as “shocking and disappointing.”
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Satheesan said that it pointed towards anti-social and anti-national activities and corruption centred around the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), which was aware of the gold smuggling.
“The CMO itself had protected the accused and helped them to escape. It has now emerged that the audio clip of the accused absolving the Chief Minister of any wrongdoing as part of a script staged with the knowledge of the senior police officers,” he alleged.
