THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the gold smuggling case, has come up with serious allegations against the Enforcement Directorate by saying that the ED is pressuring her to be an approver in the case if she made a statement against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. A voice message claiming to be Swapna's was leaked by an online media. But in the audio recording, it is unclear who Swapna is talking to.

"For some reason, they did not allow me to read the statement from the sixth day. They quickly scrolled up and asked me to sign it. My advocate said that in my statement tabled at the court I said about having gone to Dubai for CPI (M)'s financial dealings. To make me an approver, I was asked to repeat it. I said I would never do that"
