Swapna Suresh
Kozhikode: Mystery prevails over how the gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh and Sandeep Nair managed to cross the border even when COVID restrictions exist. It is assumed that they cannot cross the state border without high level influence as strict restrictions are imposed at the border check posts.
Swapna and Sandeep left Thiruvananthapuram on the day when triple lockdown was announced there. They went straight to Kochi and then to Bengaluru. They travelled with family to Bengaluru when news regarding the smuggling case was spread all over the nation.
It will create issues in the Kerala politics regarding who helped the accused at Kerala and Karnataka borders when strict checking was imposed. Earlier, opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala had alleged that Kerala police helped the accused to escape from the state and the details of the same will be brought to light.
