CB arrests Swapna in forgery case
The Hindu
Accused of forging signatures of 16 women staff of Air India SATs
The State Police Crime Branch (CB) has formally arrested Swapna Suresh, a COFEPOSA detainee and UAE gold smuggling case accused, on the charge of forgery. A CB official said the agency had arraigned the woman on the charge of forging the signature of 16 women employees of Air India SATs, a ground handling firm partly owned by the Central government, to foist a false case of sexual harassment against an Air India official. The agency had earlier named former Air India-SATs vice president Binoy Jacob as an accused in the case. The agency said the official, a whistleblower, had earned the wrath of Jacob and Swapna for complaining to the CBI and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) about ‘irregularities’ in Air India SATs.More Related News
