THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: When the owner of the juice shop, where violinist Balabhaskar’s car was stopped on their way back home from temple, told media that it was the police who took hard disk containing CCTV visuals, the statement of Balu’s associate and alleged gold smuggler Prakash Thampi tells otherwise.
Prakash Thampi admitted before the Crime branch officials before his arrest in the gold smuggling case that he had taken the hard disk in order to find out whether Arjun’s statement that Balu was driving the car at the time of accident was true. He told the officials that he couldn’t get any useful evidence from the hard disk.
He said he procured the hard disk with the help of juice owner Shamnadh’s friend Nissam. Earlier Shamnad reportedly told the police that Prakash Thampi had taken the hard disk but later he told media that the police version was wrong and it was the Crime branch officials who took the disc. He even said that he didn’t know Prakash Thampi.
After Thampi’s confession, he was allowed to go with a rider that he should return for questioning later but he went into hiding after some arrests in gold smuggling.
