The Intelligence wing of the Income Tax Department has found out that many of the accused, who were arrested in connection with the gold smuggling in diplomatic baggage, were benamis.
It has come to light that there are many other persons who invested in the smuggling and shared the profit.
The Economic Offences Court granted permission for the I-T department to interrogate the accused in the gold smuggling case to find out the people involved in the case. Swapna Suresh, Sandeep Nair, Sarith, K T Ramees, Hamjad Ali, Jalal, Muhammed Shafi, Muhammed Anvar and E Saithalavi will be questioned in the prison as part of this.
Though the investigation teams have identified the involvement of high-profile individuals within and outside the country in the conspiracy of the gold smuggling, they could not collect evidences to prove this.
