Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly V D Satheesan on Friday alleged that the state government was trying to induct two police officers close to the CPI(M) into the SIT investigating the Sabarimal gold loss case.
Addressing reporters here, Satheesan contested Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's statement that the state government had in no way interfered with the investigation.
The state government is putting extreme pressure on the SIT to protect CPI(M) leaders involved in the
case.
Three of their party leaders are already in jail in connection with the case, and more are in the queue," he claimed.
Reacting to the CM's remark on the prime accused in the case appearing in a photo with Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and Congress MPs from Kerala, he said it was an attempt to mask the real issue.
The SIT is not probing who the accused took a photo with. In that case, the chief minister himself should explain for a picture in which he is seen with the accused," he said.
