It all started with a small-time actress filing a case of blackmail against a set of individuals in connection with an allegedly fake marriage proposal. And investigators found out that someone in Kerala @CMOKerala allegedly helped a gold smuggler.
Unbelievable turn of events. I am eagerly waiting for the NIA chargesheet.
The alleged links many stage show celebrities who travel to the Gulf have with smugglers is an open secret. There were enough and more dots to connect in the past two decades or so for any average news-watcher to connect.
And a reminder, this isn't a small case. Quoting @NIA_India:
"As the case pertains to smuggling of large quantity of gold into India from offshore locations threatening the economic stability and national security of the country, it amounts to a terrorist act as stated
"As the case pertains to smuggling of large quantity of gold into India from offshore locations threatening the economic stability and national security of the country, it amounts to a terrorist act as stated
in section 15 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. Further, as the case has national and international linkages and as the initial enquiries have revealed that the proceeds of
smuggled gold could be used for financing of terrorism in India, NIA has taken up the investigation of the case."
