UAE gold smuggling case | Swapna Suresh released on bail from Women’s Prison in Thiruvananthapuram
The Hindu
Last week, the court granted bail to Swapna under strict conditions, ending her more than a year of judicial remand custody for now.
Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the politically sensational UAE gold smuggling case, was released on bail from the Women’s Prison in Thiruvananthapuram on November 6.
Accompanied by her mother, Swapna headed past the phalanx of television news camera crew to a waiting car outside the prison gates.
She avoided journalists and went straight to her family house at Balaramapuram on the outskirts of the city. Swapna’s life took a turn for the worse in July 2020.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
