Gold smuggling case cracks CPM in Kerala

Team News Riveting

Two senior functionaries in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Kerala had locked horns even as the ruling party has been struggling to deal with the gold smuggling case.

Minister E P Jayarajan is reportedly filing a complaint to the party over a picture of his son with gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh going viral and will demand to find out its source.

The minister smells something fishy and alleges that there is a conspiracy behind disclosing his son Jaison’s name into the case.

EP Jayarajan and his family suspect that the son of a former minister and heavy-weight senior office bearer of the CPM is behind the incident. Sources close to Jayarajan said he would raise the issue and lodge a complaint with the party when the gold smuggling case would be discussed at the state secretariat meeting.

In 2018, Jayarajan’s son hosted a party for Swapna Suresh for helping out with an issue with the passport. Jaison came in touch with Swapna Suresh through Bineesh Kodiyeri and it was the latter who asked to host a party for her.

The alleged photograph was clicked during the party that was attended by only seven people including Swapna Suresh, Bineesh Kodiyeri and Jaison. Jaison’s picture emerged after Bineesh was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate and therefore the suspicion extends to Bineesh.

Jaison’s name in fact was disclosed by Swapna during interrogation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
