Rejecting solar scam prime accused Saritha S Nair's allegations, the Kerala Chief Minister's Office today said there was no mention of any evidence against Oommen Chandy in a memo filed by her counsel listing production of documents before the Solar Commission.
A statement from the CMO here said there was no mention of any evidence against the Chief Minister.
"While briefing media, Saritha claimed that she has produced photo/video of Sreedharan Nair and she meeting Chief Minister in office. But this evidence is not listed in the submission before the Commission," it said.
Talking to reporters after submitting the evidence to the Justice B Sivarajan Commission, looking into the scam, Sarita alleged that the digital evidence include visuals of businessman Sreedharan Nair meeting Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in her presence at his office at the Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram.
