Oommen Chandy Office Ex Staff Arrested For Solar Scam Case
29 June 2013
Thiruvananthapuram
A former employee at Kerala Cheif Minister Oommen Chandy’s office was arrested on Friday for his alleged involvement in a cheating case, police said. Tenny Jopan was arrested for his links to a con-couple Saritha S Nair and her former live-in partner Biju Radhakrishnan.
The couple had formed a company Team Solar, engaged in erecting solar panels at offices and homes. They collected crore of rupees from gullible people in the state on the promise of providing the equipment to tap green sources of energy. Jopan’s arrest came after a businessman complained to police that Nair had taken Rs.40 lakh from him promising a business in solar panels at a state-owned industrial park in Palakkad.
With the opposition demanding Chandy’s resignation over the issue, the chief minister told two of his staffers not to attend office and ordered a probe.
