Customs officers investigating the gold smuggling through diplomatic baggage have reportedly confiscated a mobile phone used by Higher Education Minister K.T. Jaleel’s gunman.
Mr. Jaleel was under a cloud of suspicion after he was found to have been involved in the import of religious texts using the same diplomatic channel. Mr. Jaleel was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate and the National Investigation Agency as part of separate investigations in the case.
Sources said the Customs team questioned Mr. Jaleel’s gunman Prajeesh at his house at Edappal and confiscated his mobile phone. It was reported that one of the accused in the gold smuggling case had called Mr. Prajeesh.
