Kerala Gold Smuggling Case: Congress Charges- Kerala Govt
Kerala Gold Smuggling Case: Congress charges- Kerala government obstructing the investigation of the gold smuggling case.
Kerala Gold Smuggling Case, Leader of Opposition in Kerala, and Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday.
Alleged that the state government and the Marxist Communist Party (CPM) were trying to obstruct investigations into gold smuggling and narcotics cases.
Chennithala alleged that the government was trying to obstruct the statutory inquiry by violating the standards fearing that Chief Minister P. Vijayan might not be caught in the investigation.
He also alleged that the Kerala Legislative Assembly is also being misused to avoid anti-corruption investigations.
Swapna accused of the gold smuggling case had escaped to Karnataka with the help of Suresh police and later a voice message was issued by Swapna stating that there would be no difficulty for the government.
Not only this, the Vigilance investigation was announced to stop the CBI investigation and Vigilance took them in possession to prevent the CBI from going to the files.
CBI summons Karnataka Congress president
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar.
The agency has asked him to appear on 23 November in connection with the raids at his residence on 5 October.
The Congress leader says that he will appear before the investigating agency on 25 November.
On October 5, Rs 50 lakh cash was recovered during a raid on the residences of Shivkumar and his MP brother DK Suresh.
The raids were carried out at the residences at Doddalahalli, Kanakapura, and Sadashiv Nagar in Sivakumar’s Bengaluru.
The CBI had registered a case against the then minister on charges of disproportionate assets.
Thiruvananthapuram: There is confusion as to whether the Governor’s permission is required for the investigation against the Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on the bar bribery allegation.
This is because Ramesh Chennithala was not a minister or a leader of the opposition at the time of the alleged bribery. The Raj Bhavan may seek legal advice in this regard if the Government’s request is received.
