There was one Shiv Kumar Prasad, who, along with another man, was arrested at the Delhi airport. He stated that he was the personal assistant of Shashi Tharoor.
After a Cong I pitcher was located in the Delhi airport through a gold smuggling case, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor defended the detained person, whom he claimed was his previous worker who was conducting a part-time job to facilitate airport assistance services. However, the MP from Thiruvananthapuram clarified that he does not “endorse any purported misconduct.”.
He is Shiv Kumar Prasad, detained along with another man at the Delhi airport on Wednesday for purported gold smuggling of 500 gm. (File photo) He had claimed to be Tharoor’s personal assistant.
They ordered me to attack me on the balcony as well. Tharoor tweeted, ‘While campaigning in Dharamshala, I was shocked to hear of an incident involving a former member of my staff who has been providing partial services to me by facilitating my travel requirements’.
“I do not endorse any of the alleged malpractice and rightly laud the constituted bodies to wage whatever procedure may be deemed relevant to try the matter. Let the law decide,” he added.
Shiv Kumar was present at the Delhi airport, near the arrival Z terminal, to receive a passenger from the Dubai flight, ANI informed. They were both arrested at the time when the passenger was transferring the gold to Prasad.
Former media: “Prasad has an airport entry permit card that allows him to go to the airport area. He went to the airport area, and when he was taking a packet, he was detained alongside the passenger I mentioned earlier.
The BJP did not waste time in ruining Tharoor, describing the CPM and the Congress as the
“underworld of gold smugglers.”.
Social networking sites reeled with the rising temperature of anti-CPI M sentiments coupled with those against the Congress party, who are political alliance partners in the INDI alliance widely seen as complicit in gold smuggling, as posted by Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
