KOCHI: Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the gold smuggling case, filed a petition in the High Court seeking to quash the case registered against her by the police on the provocation charges to cause a riot and criminal conspiracy.

The said case of criminal conspiracy was registered against her on the complaint filed by MLA and former Minister KT Jaleel on Wednesday.

In the petition, she accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his family of involvement in several anti-social and anti-national activities involving the UAE Consulate.

"Several persons who are the higher-ups in the administration including the present Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his wife Kamala, his daughter Veena, MLA and ex-minister KT Jaleel, former Speaker of the Kerala Assembly P Sreeramakrishnan, IAS Nalini Netto and Sivasankar, and several others are involved in several anti-social and anti-national activities involving the Consulate," the petition read.

"She has been cleverly used by these persons in collusion with the Consulate General of UAE Consulate using its diplomatic protection," it added.

The petition, moved by her advocate Krishna Raj, further stated, "the complaint lodged against Swapna Suresh is false, malicious and unsustainable. Another prime accused, PS Sarith, was kidnapped by four persons from his house using brutal force in which he sustained injuries. Subsequently, he came to know that they were the police officers of the Palakkad unit of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau. He was informed that he was being taken into custody for questioning in the case related to Life Mission, but all they asked him was regarding the force behind Swapna Suresh giving the 164 statement. He was released by noon after which he had to undergo treatment."
