‘Ruling front members behind Karipur case’
Congress leader Benny Behanan, MP, on Sunday said a probe should be ordered to track down those providing political protection to gangs engaged in gold smuggling in the State. Addressing a press meet, he said prisons in the State had become corporate offices of quotation gangs. He alleged that some prominent persons in the ruling front were behind the recent Karipur airport gold smuggling case. The discovery of a police insignia from the house of Shafi, a gang member allegedly involved in the gold smuggling, should be investigated. The MP said the ‘under-reporting’ of COVID-19 deaths by the LDF government amounted to a crime.More Related News
