Kasaragod: In a twist to the Rs 140-crore Fashion Gold deposit scam, Kasaragod Police charged renowned advocate C Shukkur -- who dug up the alleged fraud -- with conspiracy and forgery.
The FIR, which lists nine criminal charges against advocate Shukkur and three others, was registered on the direction of a magistrate court and based on a complaint filed by the 11th accused S K Muhammed Kunhi (78).
IUML leader and former Manjeshwar MLA M C Kamaruddin and IUML leader and Islamic leader T K Pookoya Thangal are the first two accused in the alleged deposit scam being investigated by Kannur Crime Branch. Pookkoya Thangal's son A P Hisham is the third accused in the Fashion Gold deposit scam.

Muhammed Kunhi said he too was a victim of the deposit scam but the Crime Branch made him an accused in the case because he was listed as a director of Qamar Fashion Gold Private Limited, one of the four companies of Kamaruddin and Pookoya Thangal. "Pookoya Thangal and his son Hisham made him a director of Qamar Fashion Gold without my knowledge or consent by forging my signature," he said.
"The forged documents were notarised by advocate Shukkur. That is why I named him as the third accused in the case," said Muhammed Kunhi, a native of Kalnad. The first two accused in Kunhi's forgery case are Pookoya Thangal and his son Hisham; and the fourth accused is Sandeep Satheesh, company secretary of Qamar Fashion Gold.
