The Kasaba police on Thursday arrested Saritha S. Nair, the prime accused in the solar scam, following a warrant recently issued by the Kozhikode Judicial First-Class Magistrate Court. She was taken into custody from her house in Thiruvananthapuram in the morning. District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) A.V. George said the arrest was recorded as the accused did not appear before the court for final hearing even after issuing multiple warrants. She would be produced before the magistrate soon, he said. The allegation against her was that she cheated Kozhikode-based Industrialist Abdul Majeed and secured ₹42.7 lakh after promising him franchises in solar panel and windmill farm companies. It was the first cheating case registered in connection with the solar scam. Though the verdict of this case was expected on March 26, the court was adjourning it in the absence of the accused at the final hearing.More Related News
