This special report covers the arrest of A. Padmakumar, a former Travancore Devaswom Board President and former CPI(M) MLA, in connection with the Sabarimala gold theft probe. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Crime Branch arrested the senior CPI(M) leader after hours of questioning. According to India Today’s Shibi Malkeji, ‘He was the Travancore Devaswom President in 2019 when this proposal came up to hand over these gold cladder copper plates of the Dwarapalaga idols to the prime accused in the case Unnikrishnan Poti.’ The investigation is examining the procedures that began during his tenure for handing over gold-clad copper plates to the prime accused. The arrest links the ongoing temple probe to the ruling CPI(M) party in Kerala, as opposition parties had alleged that the SIT was attempting to protect him.
