Kochi : When the gold-smuggling accused Swapna Suresh, doles out new script featuring Vijesh, Kerala is reminded of Shaj Kiran she propped, in much the same fashion last year.
At that time, Jai Hind TV wove a tale around its former correspondent Shaj Kiran. Shaj Kiran, who Swapna dubbed as Chief Minister’s messenger and ADGP’s confidante, later proved to be a close friend of hers.. Swapna’s “revelation” at that time claimed Shaj had threatened her with death and that she feared for her life. The sensational claim ran across media non-stop for weeks till the connection between Swapna and Shaj became known all over.
Swapna told media that Shaj Kiran asked her to withdraw the statement she gave under Sec 164 and that he had come to her as messenger from the Chief Minister. Media ravished on the ‘threat’ and ‘pressures’ on Swapna quite a while.
Swapna said, Shaj Kiran had descended soon after she arrayed allgations against the Chief Minister, Swapna said, adding that, she had incriminating evidences including phone records that she would soon release. It was however Shaj Kiran who let out phone conversations - one that showed how the two were closely acquainted. With that, Swapna’s claim of Shaj Kiran being a stranger to her fell to pieces. Shaj Kiran’s role in the conspiracy too later came to light.
