Thiruvananthapuram: The main accused in gold seizure case at Trivandrum International Airport, advocate Biju M, surrendered before directorate of revenue intelligence on Friday. He surrendered at DRI office, Kochi, after the high court bench directed him to surrender during the hearing of his anticipatory bail.
In the investigation conducted by DRI, it was found that Biju had arranged Sunil Kumar M, a former KSRTC conductor and Sareena Shaji, who runs a beauty parlour in Dubai, as carriers to smuggle 25kg from Dubai, which was seized at the airport on May 13. After the seizure, Biju went absconding and had moved anticipatory bail plea at the high court.
