Story Dated: Monday, January 30, 2012 16:4 hrs IST
Kozhikode: Controversial businessman and kin of Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty, K A Rauf, who had made several allegations against the former Monday said that he was ready to undergo lie detector test in the ice cream parlour case.
He said that he has sent a letter on the issue to ADGP Vinson M. Paul, who was the chief of the special investigation team (SIT), which submitted its report to the High Court Monday.
The probe by the SIT in the case was on the allegations made by Rauf, against his estranged relative Kunahlikutty, that the minister had allegedly destroyed evidence and used money to influence witnesses and fabricate evidence in the case in 2006. Two former judges -- Justices K Narayana Kurup and K Thankappan, former advocate general M K Damodaran, former state Attorney P C Iype were among those questioned by the SIT.
The case, which surfaced during the late 1990s, relates to allegations that an ice cream parlour in Kozhikode was used to lure young women into prostitution. Kunhalikutty, who was a minister in the previous UDF government, had to quit in 2004 following the allegations. He, however, did not figure as accused in the case. Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan had also filed a petition in the High Court seeking a CBI probe into the case, which was earlier dismissed by the court.
