Others due for questioning today are suspected to have links with Dharmaraj. Police have also registered case of cheating against havala case culprits Rajith and Martin.
Meanwhile, the police found discrepancies in statements given out by BJP’s District Secretary KK Aneesh during his interrogation. Police had confirmed Dharmaraj did not have election materials in the car when he arrived in Thrissur whereas Aneesh maintained that he contacted Dharmaraj for collecting the election campaign items. The lodge accommodation, Aneesh said, was booked because the election material was due to arrive. He was caught in the lie as it was already confirmed that Dharmaraj never engaged in distribution of election materials for the party.
