Chief Minister Chandy called my mother : Kerala scam accused

Thiruvantapuram, Jan 29 (IBNS) Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy is in for more trouble as the woman accused of engineering the multi-crore solar scam has alleged that Chandy phoned her mother to attempt a cover-up and also promised to "return" bribe money.

Saritha Nair, one of the two main accused in the scam, has told a former judge investigating the case that the Chief Minister and other Congress leaders called her mother in 2013 and asked her not to reveal anything. She also alleged that they promised to "return the money taken from me".


A court in Thrissur had on Thursday asked the police to file a First Information Report against the Chief Minister. The order came after a complaint over Saritha Nair's allegation that a bribe of nearly two crores was paid to the personal staff of the chief minister.

Saritha Nair and her partner Biju Radhakrishnan were arrested in 2013 on charges of collecting crores from industrialists after promising them solar panels at cheaper rates, and also using political connections to land big contracts.
  
 The Chief Minister spent nearly 11 hours on Monday being questioned by the inquiry panel. He has refused to take a lie-detector test as suggested by Saritha Nair's lawyer.
