P.S. Prashanth, Ajikumar remanded again in Sabarimala gold theft case
Arguments continue on their bail petitions, with the prosecution submitting additional digital and physical evidence linking them to the crime
The Kollam Vigilance Court has extended the remand of P.S. Prashanth and Ajikumar, both former officials of the Travancore Devaswom Board, until September 1 in the Sabarimala gold theft case. The court heard the duo on Wednesday, following the lapse of their previous remand period. Prosecutors presented additional evidence, including phone call records, WhatsApp communications, and emails, linking the accused to the crime.
The prosecution also revealed that Mr. Potti, the first accused, had constructed houses based on Mr. Ajikumar's recommendation, with both attending the house handover ceremony. Mr. Prashanth and Mr. Ajikumar were arrested by the Special Investigation Team on July 23 and are also implicated in the Sabarimala ghee procurement scam.
