Swapna Suresh, designated as a "person of interest" by customs authorities in the Kerala gold smuggling case that has pulled Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's office into a political firestorm, has applied for anticipatory bail. Claiming innocence, she said she did not have anything to do with the smuggling and was facing a "media trial". In the petition filed online before the Kerala High Court, Swapna Suresh said that she had no involvement in the racket uncovered with the seizure of around 30 kg gold worth about Rs 15 core, by the customs department at the Thiruvananthapuram airport on July 4.
