Malayalam news channel 24-News drops a bomb in #KeralaGoldSmugglingCase. The channel airs a sound clip presumed to be of Swapna Suresh, a prime suspect, speaking from an unknown location. She claims total innocence, alleges that she has become a scapegoat in a political drama.
"I had met several top politicians. But they were for my official role. I don't know anyone in the government (personally). They would not remember UAE consulate secretary. Please don't kill me like this," she said, about being rumoured to be a power broker.
On the cargo, she says: "I have nothing to do with gold smuggling. I was directed to handle the baggage by the Consulate." "The issue here is diplomatic cargo, who sent it, who's behind it. Please investigate that."
On holding a high-paying job, she says she was getting a bigger remuneration for the Consulate job, and suggests that it is still inferior to what she could've made in the UAE). On portrayed as a party animal, she quipped: "Where can one find a night club in Tvm?"
Well, if she is so innocent, one wonders what stops her from coming out of the hiding and making herself available to the customs for questioning.
