Swapna alleged that the principal secretary of the Kerala CM, M Sivasankar is the mastermind of the 'heinous  smuggling' and that he acted on behalf of the state government. She claimed that she was forced to obey the orders of her superiors as the UAE Consulate in the state was maneuvered to carry out the smuggling.
 
 
 
She also alleged that the Kerala government favored Sivasankar a bail after he spent three months in prison. Also, she talked about harassment by the state government agencies for giving a confidential statement in court. In the letter, she also reiterated claims of CM Pinarayi Vijayan and his family's role in the case.
 
"CBI investigation is mandatory to find out the truth. It would be just and fair if the Government of Kerala do not intervene in this matter as government officials themselves are the prime suspects," Suresh said. She further added that she is a soft target and "could be taken down by the party through their hostile measure". She requested PM Modi to under the gravity of the situation of the gold smuggling case and take appropriate measures.
