Sudhakaran, Baby trade charges over former’s association with Monson
The associations of alleged fake antique dealer and suspected confidence trickster Monson Mavunkal are becoming more apparent as the investigation progresses.
At a stroke, the tale of deception has captured the public's imagination and triggered a fresh round of skirmishing between politicians.
KPCC president K. Sudhakaran had said on Tuesday that he had consulted Monson as a stylist and was not a party to his questionable transactions.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
