A court-monitored investigation by Central agencies is required into the new revelations of the diplomatic channel gold smuggling accused Swapana Suresh, Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) MP N.K. Premachandran has said.
Speaking at a meet-the-press programme here on Saturday, Mr. Premachandran said there was politics of fear and ‘mafiaisation of institutions’ in the State, referring to the alleged involvement of a senior Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) who was removed from his post soon after his name cropped up in a conversation between Swapna and her acquaintance.
Forming a special investigation team led by a Superintendent of Police (SP) comprising 10 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DySPs) to probe the conspiracy angle of the case, while there was no effort to take action based on the revelations, points to the direction where the state government was heading. This is a kind of government-sponsored terror, said Mr, Premachandran.
