The NIA reported Swapna Prabha Suresh as the accused in the smuggling case, but no credible source reported that Swapna has converted to Islam.Swapna Prabha Suresh, a former United Arab Emirates(UAE) consulate employee, is accused of smuggling 30 kg gold worth Rs 15 crore. The case is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency(NIA), and in the agency records, they mention her name as Swapna Suresh. On July 10, the NIA registered an FIR against Swapna and two other accused to probe if they have any links to terror activities. We searched for news reports on NIA's statements regarding the case but did not find any credible news report saying Swapna is a Muslim, and her actual name is Mumtaz Ismail.

We also checked NIA's official website and Twitter handle for the latest updates on the case; however, there were no details to support the claim that Swapna is a Muslim.
