Thrissur: Senior BJP leader Sobha Surendran claimed that businessman Anto Augustine is the one operating behind Tirur Satheesh, who recently levelled allegations against her. 

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Sobha launched a tirade against Anto, labeling him a “wild thief” and challenging him to substantiate his claims.

“Anto Augustine alleges that he reserved rooms for me in star hotels. I challenge him to produce any evidence of such a reservation made for me at any hotel in India,” she said.

Sobha also refuted Anto’s claim that she contacted the head of a channel to complain about not being invited for a discussion. “I challenge him to reveal the phone number, date, and time of that call. Furthermore, he claims that I am a frequent visitor to his house. I demand him to provide at least one piece of evidence to support his allegations,” Sobha asserted.
