Thiruvananthapuram: The CPI(M) Tuesday demanded a probe into the Kochi airport gold haul after a former staffer of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy figured on the Facebook contacts list of a smuggling gang kingpin."A NIA probe is the need of the hour to reveal if there's more in the relationship that has now surfaced between one of his (Chandy's) former staff and the arrested," demanded former home and tourism minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan of the CPI(M)."It now appears that Chandy's office has become a place where the unscrupulous make merry as reports have surfaced of the relations that the now arrested person in the gold haul case had," CPI(M) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan told reporters here.
