KOCHI: Unitac MD, Santhosh Eepan has said that he bribed Swapna Suresh for getting the construction contract of projects under life mission. He also said that he gifted an Iphone to opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala. Santhosh Eapan has made these crucial revelations in the plea filed before Kerala high court questioning CBI probe over life mission.

Apart from bribes, Swapna Suresh has also demanded five iphones from Santhosh Eepan. She told him the iphones were for gifting the VVIPs who participated in the UAE national day celebrations. He also said in the plea filed before HC that one such iphone was gifted to Ramesh Chennithala, who took part in the national day celebrations. He has also attached the bills of iphone with the plea. Meanwhile, Chennithala’s office has ruled out the Eepna’s statement over the ‘iphone gift.’ His office said that he didn’t accept the gift.
