Kochi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday raised a sensational veil in the gold smuggling case in the name of a foreign diplomat. In a report submitted to the special NIA court, the central agency has said that the accused Sandeep Nayar, Swapna Suresh, and others were conspiring to destabilize the Indian economy largely through smuggling gold from abroad. The NIA suspects that in order to provide financial support to the accused militant organizations, they were doing things like smuggling gold. During this time, the court has extended the NIA custody period of Sandeep and Swapna till 24th July.

Swapna had applied for bail, claiming herself to be without fault. The NIA produced both the accused in the court after the completion of the custody period. In this report presented in the court, the NIA said that the accused Swapna had admitted that she had conspired to smuggle gold at several places in Thiruvananthapuram together with Sandeep and Sarith. For this, she was given money by Sarith, which she has invested in the banking and non-banking institutions. During the investigation, the role of a person named Katie Ramish has also been revealed. He is currently in the custody of the Customs Department.

It is alleged that Ramesh tried to smuggle more and more gold at the time of lockdown when the country's economic situation was weak. On the other hand, Kerala Police officer Jayaghosh, posted at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Consulate General, Thiruvananthapuram, has been suspended. Metropolitan Deputy Commissioner of Police Balaram Kumar Upadhyay said that Jayghosh's role was suspicious. This has affected the image of the police.
