After
spending nearly eight months in prison in connection with the solar panel scam
case, the key accused Saritha S Nair was Friday released from jail on bail.
She walked
out of the Attakulagara sub-jail here after she was granted bail in all the 33
cases registered, police sources said.
Saritha was
arrested on June 4 last year.Coming out of the prison, Saritha said she was
happy to be freed and wanted to meet her children first.
The case shook
the state's Congress-led UDF government after it took a political turn
following the alleged link between three staff in the office of Chief Minister
Oommen Chandy and the accused.
Seizing on
the issue, CPM led LDF opposition had conducted a series of agitations
demanding the resignation of Chandy, which finally prompted the government to
order a judicial probe into the scam.
The scam
pertains to cheating of huge sums allegedly by Saritha Nair along with her
accomplice Biju Radhakrishnan by offering people solar panel solutions.
