THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Hotelier Biju Ramesh revealed that Swapna Suresh, accused in the gold smuggling case, had called him. She called for some liquor bottles for the officials of UAE Consulate and accordingly supplied it. P S Sarith, former PRO of the consulate and the first accused in the gold smuggling case, came and collected the bottles, Biju said this when the media asked him whether he had called Swapna Suresh.
Swapna has called me and I also have called her. That has nothing to do with the gold smuggling. She called me for some liquor bottles for the officials of the Consulate. I called her back to say that the bottles are ready and then she sent the PRO to collect it. She is my second cousin. She had called me later to inform her father’s death and for some liquor bottles in connection with her father’s death function.
