Govt May Move HC Over Delay 'Sabarimala Gold Loss Chargesheet'

Kerala Devaswom Minister K Muraleedharan on Thursday said that the probe into the Sabarimala gold loss was continuing at a very slow pace and the government was dissatisfied with it.

Muraleedharan said that while arrests are being made in connection with the matter, the chargesheet was yet to be filed in the matter. 

He said that if a chargesheet is not filed by the end of this month, the government will convey its dissatisfaction to the Kerala High Court regarding the very



slow pace of the probe.

"We cannot become spectators to the slow pace of the probe," he said. The minister was responding to reporters' queries regarding former Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president P S Prasanth being taken into custody in connection with the Sabarimala gold loss cases. 

Muraleedharan said that while the government is not happy with the very slow pace of the probe, it cannot take any steps till the Special Investigation Team (SIT) files its chargesheet.
