In Kerala, the Special Investigation Team, SIT, once again questioned Unnikrishnan Potti, the prime accused in the Sabarimala gold plating case. Unnikrishnan Potti had earlier served as a helper to a former assistant priest at the Sabarimala temple. Meanwhile, the SIT, appointed by the Kerala High Court, is trying to gather details about the gold allegedly misappropriated from the Sabarimala temple, including gold-clad panels.

However, former Kerala BJP state president K. Surendran has demanded a probe by central agencies into the case. He also alleged that Congress has links to the issue and questioned how individuals connected to the case were able to visit Sonia Gandhi.
