Kochi: Pulsar Suni, the key accused in the abduction of a Malayalam actress, told reporters that he would reveal the names of the influential people behind the case in two days.
He made the remarks as he was being taken to a magisterial court at Kakkanad on Wednesday. While being taken to the court from the jail, Suni told TV channels that names of the "sharks" involved in the conspiracy behind the abduction of the actress will be revealed soon.
Suni seems to be have developed an art of throwing hints at reporters, who lap it up in no time, during his brief outing to the court. On Tuesday too, he had told reporters in his characteristic style that 'influential people' were behind the heinous crime.
And he followed it up on Wednesday, by stating that the names would be revealed in two days' time.
The Infopark police which effected the second arrest on Suni Wednesday, also secured his custody for five days from a magisterial court at Kakkanad near here.
The Infopark police, seeking Suni's custody, said in its remand application to the court that it examined the CCTV footage at the Kakkanad prison and arrested Suni after it was found that he had made the phone calls from the prison.
When will the arrests be made?
Ernakulam Rural SP A.V. George hit out at the media for "doing guess work and spreading rumors" in connection with the probe into the "conspiracy angle" in the case.
George, a key member of the team probing the case, said police cannot say if arrests would be made today or tomorrow.
"The investigation is on the right track. We are not under any external pressure. This is a case of criminal conspiracy. So, we can't say anything on arrest. How can we give answers to the guesswork and rumours carried on in the media?" George said in response to queries if arrests would be made soon.
The actress, who has also worked in Tamil and Telugu films, was abducted and allegedly molested inside her car for two hours by the accused, who had forced their way into the vehicle on February 17 and later escaped.
