FOLLOWING fresh revelations by the prime accused in the gold smuggling case -- Swapna Suresh who was asked to appear before the ED officials in Kochi, did on Tuesday and sought a few more days time as she was unwell. Swapna after presenting herself before the ED officials here informed them that she is unwell. “I had told the officials that I am unwell and I requested for some more time, which they agreed. I said I will return in a few days and appear before them,” said Swapna to the media.

 

This case resurfaced last month when an autobiography written by then principal secretary to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan - M Sivasankar revealed that “he never did any favour to Swapna” and also added that “he never knew the iPhone that was gifted to him by her was part of a bribe”. Angered by this statement, Swapna said, “it was Sivasankar who destroyed my life and all what I knew, he also knew”.
