Thiruvananthapuram: The SIT investigating the Sabarimala gold theft case is expanding its probe to include more Devaswom Board officials. The team plans to seek custody of arrested Devaswom Board official Murari Babu for further questioning.
Meanwhile, the interrogation of prime accused Unnikrishnan Potti continues. The Travancore Devaswom Board is set to meet today to discuss legal steps, including approaching the High Court. Murari Babu, who had earlier certified that the stolen gold-plated panels were merely copper sheets, had resigned from his post as vice president of the Perunna NSS Karayogam following controversy. The SIT is also probing the role of Chennai-based Smart Creations, whose owners allegedly have close links to those involved in the conspiracy.
