Swapna Suresh still at large

Thiruvananthapuram: The second accused in the gold smuggling case, Swapna Suresh, continues to evade the customs sleuths and is still at large even on the fifth day after the gold seizure from the Trivandrum International Airport.
Swapna, who moved her bail petition in HC on Thursday, is believed to be in the capital itself, though there are also speculations that she might have slipped to Tamil Nadu. The state police are yet to involve in the hunt, citing that no formal request has been sought by the customs yet.
Even though there were rumours that the customs had sought the video footages of the accused at their workplaces, the police denied that no such request has been placed.
Meanwhile, there were unconfirmed reports that Swapna had travelled to Peringammala area. There are also reports that customs have obtained a clear lead about her hideout after interrogating a friend of her daughter, whom she had spoken to over the phone. tnn
