Saritha claims she had handed over controversial letter to Pillai

Kochi: Solar accused Saritha S Nair Monday deposed before the Justice Sivarajan Commission probing the solar scam that she had handed over a copy of the controversial letter she had written from jail to Kerala Congress(B) chief R.Balakrishna Pillai.

“After writing the letter, I gave that to the jail superintendent. My advocate Fenny Balakrishnan got the letter from him. Later, he handed over the letter to Pillai via K B Ganesh Kumar’s personal assistant,” Saritha said.

She also sought more time to produce the letter before the commission.

Saritha also deposed before the commission that the police raided her house before taking her out for evidence collection and confiscated her laptop, desktop and hard disc. She said the police did not return those to her.

The Sivarajan Commission December 15 had asked Saritha Nair to reveal the paternity of her child, who was born after she got separated from her husband. The proceedings had ended abruptly with Saritha breaking down in the witness’s box.
