KOCHI: The enforcement said the one core found in the locker is not Swapna Suresh’s money but is the commission offered to Sivasankar. The ED informed the court that Swapna had testified that it was the bribe offered to Sivasankar by UNITAC in the Life Mission scam. The locker was in the name of Swapna and Sivasankar’s friend the chartered accountant.

Swapna Suresh was just the safe custodian of the money. This was mentioned in the counter affidavit filed by ED on the bail plea of Sivasankar. The court will be considering the bail plea of Sivasankar at 1.45 pm today. A 150-page counter affidavit was filed in the court by the ED prior to that.

In the beginning of the case, Swapna had asserted that it was a gift given to her by Sharjah ruler. She later retracted her statement and said that her father gave her the money. However, the investigating agency was not ready to believe all this. She revealed the truth when questioned on November 10 at Attakkulangara jail. The enforcement said they have got WhatsApp chats and other digital evidence related to the commission offered to Sivasankar.
