Police register rape cases against ex-CM Oommen Chandy, Venugopal
The solar scam is set to haunt the Congress in Kerala again with police registering rape cases against former chief minister Oommen Chandy and AICC general secretary K C Venugopal based on a complaint of scam accused Saritha S Nair.
The judicial commission, which had probed the scam, had recommended that a case for sexual abuse could be registered against Chandy, Venugopal and other Congress leaders. Nair, in a letter submitted to the commission, had alleged that Chandy and others sexually abused her and allowed her solar firm to make illegal gains during the previous Congress regime.
