The Congress on Tuesday (December 23, 2025) levelled grave charges against Kerala Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in connection with the ongoing special investigation team (SIT) probe into the Sabarimala gold loss case and accused it of interfering with the investigation through intermediaries.
While talking to reporters in Thiruvananthapuram, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan alleged that two IPS officers were assigned by the CMO to “exert intense pressure” on the SIT that probes the case.

He said the Opposition was refraining from naming the officers concerned “only out of propriety”, but warned that he would be compelled to disclose their identities if they did not stop exerting pressure upon investigating officers.
Stressing the need for a sincere and impartial investigation, he said the Opposition was closely monitoring the probe and would point out any lapses in the investigation.
