Fresh controversy surrounds the Sabarimala gold theft case as senior Congress leaders accuse authorities of delaying the investigation. The Kerala High Court recently noted allegations of a sluggish probe, adding to the mounting pressure on the ruling CPI(M) government. Opposition leaders have raised concerns about the involvement of key figures and called for a thorough inquiry.
Congress Working Committee member Ramesh Chennithala questioned the plausibility of the theft occurring without the knowledge of Minister Surendran. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive investigation, suggesting political protection might be at play. The High Court’s observation on the pace of the probe has fueled demands for a transparent and efficient inquiry process.
The Opposition Leader, V.D. Satheesan, criticized the delay in questioning Minister Surendran, alleging political motives behind the timing. He highlighted the importance of uncovering the truth and ensuring accountability in the case. The judicial scrutiny and ongoing political scrutiny are shaping the Sabarimala gold heist case into a significant challenge for the state government.
