Kerala Solar scam: The accused Saritha Nair arrested

Kerala: Saritha S. Nair, a key accused in the ‘Solar scam’, was arrested by Kozhikode Kasaba police from her house in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday in connection with a fraud case. She was arrested for not appearing before a court in Kozhikode even after multiple summons. According to reports, she will be produced before the court today itself.

The warrant was issued by the Kozhikode Chief Judicial Magistrate Court -3 in a case of cheating committed by her when she took money from a person but failed to deliver solar panels to him.

This court had earlier asked her to appear before them on February 25, but she failed to do so and the police later on Thursday will produce her before the court, as she is now being taken to Kozhikode.

This case in which she has been arrested was registered during the tenure of the Chandy government and according to reports there are around half a dozen similar cheating cases registered against her starting from 2012 at various police stations in Kerala.

Earlier, the police had faced severe criticism over delaying Saritha's arrest even after the court issued warrants and she was named accused in a job fraud case.
