KOCHI: Swapna Suresh has come forward with some shocking revelations in the gold smuggling case. She said she gave a secret statement as her life is in danger and that she is being threatened by those involved in the case. She said that she has given secret statements against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his wife Kamala, daughter Veena and former minister K T Jaleel.
‘She had given a secret statement regarding the intervention of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, former principal secretary M Sivasankar, chief minister’s wife Kamala, daughter Veena, CM’s private secretary C M Raveendran, former minister K T Jaleel and Nalini Netto. Sivasankar contacted me first when the chief minister visited Dubai in 2016 for the first time. She said that she was the secretary of the consulate then. He said that the chief minister had forgotten his bag and that it should reach Dubai as early as possible. The bag was sent through the diplomat at the consulate. There was currency in it. The bag was scanned at the scanning machine at the consulate. Realised that it was currency then. This is how all that started.
Biryani dishes were sent to Cliff House from the Consul General's house as per the instructions of Sivasankar. It contained not only biryani but also metal objects. None of my statements are different. I have no agenda to drag anyone or anything. The investigation should be effective. All their involvement should be decided by the court. I'm not going anywhere; I'll reveal everything. Further details of the confidential statement cannot be disclosed. The court should be respected,’ she said this while talking to the media after giving her statement in the court.
