THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: South zone jail DIG has confirmed that the sound in the viral audio clip is that of gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh’s where she purportedly talks about being pressurised to name Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the case. However, he hinted that it was not recorded in jail and may have recorded it when taken out for collecting evidence. He said this after inspecting Attakulangara jail where she is lodged.

Swapna has also confirmed the voice to be of hers. However, she said that she can’t remember when it was recorded. Jail DGP Rishiraj Singh said that they will check the audio clip with the help of cyber cell to examine if it is hers. Rishiraj Singh entrusted DIG Ajay Kumar this morning to conduct a probe on the viral audio clip. He was directed to conduct a probe and submit a report today itself.

In the meanwhile, the ED is also probing it. The ED will examine whether there is an attempt to subvert the investigation in the case.
