Kannur : CPI(M) Area Secretary in Thaliparambu, K Santhosh, fled complaint with police seeking investigation and case against gold-smuggling accused Swapna Suresh and Thaliparambu native Vijesh K alias Vijesh Pillai.
The complaint is based on derogatory claims Swapna Suresh made against the Chief Minister and Party Secretary MV Govindan, on Facebook Live, without any basis.
In her FB session Swapna claimed than a man named Vijesh Pillai met with her claiming to be middleman sent by MV Govindan. Vijesh Pillai, according to Swapna, asked her to withdraw all allegations she had leveled against Chief Minister and family members. Swapna further claimed she was offered Rs 30 crores in return and warned that refusal to comply would result in dire consequences.
These kind of claims are highly dubious and there has to be gross conspiracy by anti-social elements behind the bogus allegations. That being so, an investigation should be initiated and all culprits brought to justice, the complaint read.
