He questioned how Swapna, who is in judicial custody, can be threatened without the knowledge of the Chief Minister.
Thomas said that Director General of Police Loknath Behera is acting like a spy for the Chief Minister. The threat to Swapna indicates a very serious crime. It deserves to be taken seriously.
The silence of the DGP (jail) is a crime. It is suspected that Swapna was threatened by the police on behalf of the Chief Minister. Thomas also asked the Chief Minister to explain his stand in the matter.
