Sabarimala gold theft case: State’s stance helpful for accused, says V.D. Satheeshan
Allegations of government shielding influential suspects raise concerns about abuse of power.
V.D. Satheeshan, the Opposition leader, alleges that the State government and the special investigation team (SIT) are shielding influential suspects in the Sabarimala gold theft case by delaying the chargesheet submission. He claims this was a result of an understanding between the government and the SIT, granting undue legal advantages to the accused. Satheeshan also accuses the CPI(M) of attempting to cover up allegations related to the Payyannur CPI(M) fund scam without informing the police.
