Swapna Suresh

The Kochi Customs Preventive Commissioner's report states that a fine of Rs 65 lakh has been imposed on the accused in dollar smuggling case including Swapna Suresh and former principal secretary to Chief Minister M Sivasankar.

The Kerala government filed a CBI FIR and a VACB complaint against Unitac Builders and Developers Private Limited and Sane Ventures LLP, which led to the money laundering case in LIFE (Livelihood Inclusion Financial Empowerment) Mission.
 

It is alleged that Sivasankar violated the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act in the Life Mission project. The ED has arrested only Sivasankar and Unitac Builders MD Santhosh Eapen in the case.

AICC secretary Viswanathan Perumal has been booked by the Kannur town police for his defamatory remark against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. He termed the gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh as CM's 'girlfriend'. 

A special court in Kochi extended the remand of the former principal secretary to the Chief Minister and accused in the Life Mission scam case M Sivasankar to August 5. At the same time, the bail of Swapna Suresh, one of the prime accused, has also been extended.

The ED filed the chargesheet in a special court in Kochi.

The focus of the investigation is mostly on gold dealers and people who paid to purchase gold from Dubai.
 

After interrogation, Vijesh Pillai told Asianet News that he did not know MV Govindan or his son personally and the allegation was fabricated by Swapna Suresh. 
 

The Additional Solicitor General also informed the court that M Sivasankar, the former principal secretary to the Chief Minister, was the mastermind.

The Enforcement Directorate has sought details on Swapna Suresh's appointment at the Space Park. 

There is a lot that happens behind the scenes in the corridors of power. Opinions, conspiracies, power games and internal wrangling galore in the political space. Asianet News Network’s massive ground presence taps into the pulse of politics and bureaucracy across the country.

WhatsApp conversations show that Pinarayi Vijayan had allegedly been updated by gold smuggling scam accused Swapna Suresh about the 'background' of the circumstances under which she quit her post as secretary to Consul General at the UAE Consulate in Thiruvananthapuram.

The federal agency, in its statement, said that the action had been taken against Aboobacker Pazhedath, the promoter of Malabar Jewellery and Fine Gold Jewellery, both of which have their headquarters in Malappuram, Kerala, and one of the shareholders of Atlas Gold Super Markets Pvt. Ltd., Kozhikode.

The HRDS hogged the limelight when it hired Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the sensational gold smuggling case in February this year.

A day after stirring up a row over his controversial "Azad Kashmir" remarks on social media, ruling LDF MLA K T Jaleel on Saturday said they were misinterpreted.
