THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The claims of Akhil Sajeev, who is accused of taking bribe for the appointment of a medical officer, have started to fall apart. Earlier, Akhil Sajeev had said that he did not know Haridas, the complainant. After this, Haridas released the phone conversation with Akhil Sajeev.

In the phone conversation, Akhil Sajeev says that the appointment will be given and it will take some time. Akhil also requests Haridas not to file a police complaint. Later, Haridasan also says that he cannot wait any longer and will have to approach the police.

At the same time, a video has surfaced of minister's personal staff member Akhil Mathew attending a wedding in Pathanamthitta on the evening of April 10. Footage of him attending a close relative's wedding with the minister has emerged.

But Haridas is firm in his argument. Haridas asks why Akhil Mathew did not point it out when he filed the complaint if he was present in Pathanamthitta that day. Haridas's friend Basith had come directly to the minister's office on August 17 and lodged a complaint. But the complaint from the minister's office to the police is on the 23rd of this month. As per the Thiruvananthapuram City Police Commissioner, the complaint was received yesterday.
