Adoor Prakash Seeks SIT Probe Into Alleged Potti–Brittas Links After Kerala CM’s Charge

Overview

• Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan questioned Adoor Prakash over a photo showing Sonia Gandhi with Unnikrishnan Potti, the Sabarimala gold theft accused, and raised how the accused accessed a high-security leader.
• Vijayan said others accompanied Potti, including a trader investigators have identified as the alleged purchaser of the stolen gold.
• Prakash said Potti sought a permitted meeting to offer prasadam, said he accompanied him as a constituent’s representative, and alleged the Chief Minister’s Office planted reports claiming the SIT had summoned him.
• Calling for a Special Investigation Team, Prakash urged forensic examination of call records he says show frequent contact between Potti and CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas.
• Brittas rejected the accusation as baseless and questioned how the accused met Sonia Gandhi, while opposition leaders continued to press political questions around the photograph.
