SIT Extends Sabarimala Gold Probe to Tamil Nadu
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is looking into the Sabarimala gold loss case.
They are searching for a businessman named Balamurughan, also known as D Mani, in Tamil Nadu.
A senior Congress leader, Ramesh Chennithala, said that an international antique racket might be involved.
The SIT found a phone number linked to Balamurughan but the person they found, Subramaniam (M S Mani), said he is not the person they are looking for.
The SIT is also looking for another person named Srikrishna.
So far, they have arrested nine people, including two former presidents of the Travancore Devaswom Board.
The SIT is still trying to find out if Balamurughan and his associate are really involved in the case.
