Kollam: Unnikrishnan Potti, the prime accused in the Sabarimala gold smuggling case, has filed a bail application in the Kollam Vigilance Court. The court will consider the application on Thursday, December 18.
In his plea, Potti has sought relief citing old age. However, the prosecution strongly opposed the bail request.
Earlier investigations by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) revealed that Potti was involved in land transactions worth several crores. Related documents had been seized by the SIT.
In the same case, the court is set to pronounce its verdict on the bail plea of former Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president A. Padmakumar on Friday.
