‘Swapna’s disclosures put CM under a cloud’
Shocking evidence on how the State and Central governments swept the UAE gold smuggling case under the wraps has now tumbled out, KPCC president K. Sudhakaran said on Saturday, demanding a re-investigation into the case.
If the case had been investigated properly, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan too would have gone to prison along with bureaucrat M. Sivasankar and Swapna Suresh, Mr. Sudhakaran said, referring to the recent disclosures made by Swapna.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
