A key suspect in the gold smuggling case in Kerala, Swapna Suresh has moved the state high court for anticipatory bail.
Suresh, a former foreign consulate employee, is absconding and the opposition has alleged that she is being protected by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
The anticipatory bail plea of the woman employee, on the run since being sacked from contractual service in the state IT department after her name cropped up in the smuggling case, is expected to come up before the high court on Friday, June 10.
The woman and an alleged accomplice of her are absconding even as an audio clip in which she purportedly claims innocence surfaced.
The case pertains to Customs officials at the airport coming across 30 kg of gold, worth about Rs 15 core, in diplomatic baggage on July 4. The gold was found in baggage linked to the United Arab Emirates Consulate in the state.
