Mr Vijayan rejected the charges and made it clear that he did not forget to take his baggage during the Dubai trip.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said he had visited Dubai five times so far since 2016 after he assumed the top office and never forgot to take any of his baggage on the trip as alleged by gold smuggling case prime accused Swapna Suresh.
Mr Vijayan's reply assumed significance in the wake of startling charges raised by Ms Suresh, also a former employee at the UAE Consulate here, that the Chief Minister had forgotten to take a baggage and it was asked to be delivered to Dubai immediately during his 2016 trip.
Ms Suresh, in a series of recent press conferences, also alleged that the package was found to contain currency notes and it was later sent to Dubai through a diplomat as per the instructions of the then Consulate General.
However, in a single-line reply, Mr Vijayan rejected the charges and made it clear that he did not forget to take his baggage during the Dubai trip.
