P.P. Shabeer, the prime accused in the Kozhikode parallel telephone exchange case, will be taken to Bengaluru where he had reportedly colluded with inter-State rackets to facilitate the expansion of the discreet communication network for criminal activities.
Shabeer, who was remanded in police custody till August 31, is likely to be grilled by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and a State-level special squad led by senior police officers. The squad will dig up details of suspicious financial transactions he had carried out with the support of his close aides.
The District Crime Branch (CB) squad has already gathered details of a few of his suspicious benami assets, including a resort in Wayanad and a hotel in Bengaluru, to probe the source of his income. Recovery of a laptop that he had reportedly used for some confidential transactions is also part of the special squad’s task.
