KOZHIKODE: A jewellery owner from Koduvally, who is suspected to have links with Thiruvananthapuram gold smuggling case, is to be questioned on Saturday.

There will also be raids that will centre on Koduvally, said to the hub of gold trade in Malabar.

The NIA is reported to have got the evidence for the Koduvally’s jeweller’s role in the gold smuggling. It is he who help the smugglers melt the gold and convert it into ornaments. A Naduvannur native is functioning as the middleman in the deal. He has also reportedly gone underground.

Meanwhile, UAE consulate general’s gunman Jayaghosh, who made a suicide attempt on the other day, is out of danger. There are two injuries on his hand. One of the wounds is deep.

Meanwhile, the doctors have told the police that the gunman’s statement that he had swallowed a blade is wrong. However, the Customs has started scrutinising the bank accounts of Jayaghosh and his relatives.
