The case has turned murkier after the Vigilance wing of the Kerala Police arrested ,Swapna’s co-accused , Sarith from the residence on Wednesday. While Swapna charged that Sarith was kidnapped, police maintained that he was taken into custody to question him on the Life Mission case.

In a related development, Swapna in an anticipatory bail moved in Kerala high court said that she suspects that she would be arrested by the Kerala police regarding a conspirancy case. In the petition, she also mentioned that a person, Shaji Kiran had threatened her with dire consequences if she did not change her statement and compelled her to release a new video statement before the public. She said that he had boasted her that he was closely associated with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and that he was a director of the business firm of evangelist K.P.
