KALPETTA: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has said that the CM's office has become an office supporting underworld activities, such as gold smuggling, corruption and robbery. It will not be long before the gold smuggling probe reaches the Chief Minister. He added that all the information related to gold smuggling and corruption should be brought before the law.

Attempts by the government to obstruct the current investigation are reprehensible, he said. He added that the latest information on the Maoist encounter shows that it was a fake encounter.
