Agency poised to question Arjun Ayanki, prime suspect with alleged links to the ruling CPI(M)
The Customs investigation into the Karipur gold smuggling case appeared to gain momentum on Monday with the agency’s preventive unit in Kochi poised to question Arjun Ayanki, a Kannur resident and prime suspect with alleged links to the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist). The confiscation of 2.33 kg of gold from one Mohammed Shafeek in Karipur had assumed the dimensions of political controversy, with the developing investigation revealing that few of the accused posed as ardent CPI(M) supporters on social media accounts.More Related News
