An agitated Kerala Revenue Minister E Chandrasekharan today said the state Intelligence chief knocked at his doors and asked him if he was the Agriculture Minister.

"...It is unfortunate that the Intelligence chief did not recognise a Minister," Chandrasekharan told reporters, adding "I did not call him. He came to meet another minister."

Chandrasekharan said Intelligence ADGP B S Mohammed Yasin came to his house at 8 am and asked him if he was Agriculture Minister V S Sunil Kumar.

He said after replying in the negative, he directed him to the house of the Agriculture Minister.

However, denying the charge, Yasin asserted he knew all ministers and that it was his car driver who made the mistake of taking him to the residence of Chandrasekharan.
 

Yasin, when contacted, said he had fixed up a meeting with Sunil Kumar to discuss about a building which was on the verge of collapse in Thrissur.

"I have no other comment. I know all ministers," he told PTI when asked about Chandrasekharan's remarks. Yasin also said he knew Sunil Kumar since two years, when he was an Inspector General of Police in Thrissur District.
