KANNUR: BJP state president K Surendran on Wednesday said that some people visited Swapna Suresh and threatened her not to reveal crucial details in order to save the Chief Minister in the gold smuggling case. According to Surendran, the central investigation agencies can get clarity regarding this by questioning the jail superintendent. He also alleged that the jail DGP was not fulfilling his responsibilities in this regard.

Surendran also took the opportunity to lash out at Health Minister KK Shailaja for providing the requisite help to Chief Minister's Additional Private Secretary CM Raveendran at the Medical College hospital. "That is how each time the ED comes after Raveendran, he runs to the hospital. Shailaja must come clean on the matter," Surendran said.
