Muraleedharan demands CBI probe into Sabarimala gold theft
Allegations of a major theft and potential government cover-up warrant concern.
V. Muraleedharan, a former Union Minister and senior BJP leader, demanded responsibility from Kadakampally Surendran, former Devaswom Minister, for the alleged Sabarimala gold theft. He criticized the ongoing investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) as being deliberately sabotaged and called for a CBI probe. Muraleedharan accused the government of attempting to shield culprits, including those from both the CPI(M) and Congress, and claimed that a state-led investigation would be unfair and lack transparency.
