THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition Leader VD Satheesan alleged that the chief minister's office is the epicentre of AI camera and K-FON corruptions.

"The chief minister's office was the hub of gold smuggling. The CM's Principal Secretary spent 100 days in jail in that case. Now, the same principal secretary is in jail in the LIFE Mission corruption case. The chief minister's office is also the epicentre of AI camera and K-FON scams. The chief minister's office is also involved in the purchase of medicines for the Medical Services Corporation. The opposition raised serious allegations related to the Chief Minister's office with proof. That is why the government ordered a vigilance investigation against me before the CM went to attend the USA," Satheesan said.

"The vigilance is conducting an inquiry into a case that was dismissed by the High Court single bench and division bench. The case against K Sudhakaran is also a fake one. The complainant, who has a CPM background, stated that he gave Rs 10 crore to Monson Mavunkal in the presence of Sudhakaran. This allegation is baseless. They are trying to trap Sudhakaran by creating fake statements. Sudhakaran was not an MP at the time when this incident happened. Hence, there is no logic in the claim that Sudhakaran had assured the complainant that the Public Finance Committee will intervene. Moreover, there is no committee called Public Finance Committee in the Parliament," Satheesan said.
