The prime accused in the Thiruvananthapuram gold smuggling case Swapna Suresh on February 05 clarified that she does not have any personal relationship with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. While speaking to ANI, Vijayan said, “I do not have any personal relationship with CM. Any relationship I had was purely professional and point of contact was always Shivashankar (ex-principal secretary of Kerala CM). Don't have personal connections with his family members. With KT Jaleel also, it was purely official, he had a very close association and acquaintance with the Consul General then. With ex-Kerala Speaker P Sreeramakrishnan, I had a good, genuine friendship, family relationship.”
