KOCHI: With just two days left for the Assembly election, Solar scam accused Saritha S Nair on Friday made an explosive statement that she submitted evidence, including obscene audio/video clippings of her private relation with three ministers and an MP, before the Judicial Commission probing the scam.

According to Saritha, the evidence include a video clipping of her visit to the office of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy along with businessman Sreedharan Nair, which the Chief Minister had denied earlier. Saritha arrived at the Commission’s office along with her advocate C D Johny and relative Vinu Kumar around 4.30 pm on Friday, with the next three days being holiday for the Commission in connection with the Assembly election. Saritha produced a pen-drive and eight documents in a sealed cover before the Commission. She claimed that the pen-drive contained the emails sent by CM’s personal staff Jikkumon Jacob; obscene videos of politicians; audio files of her conversation with Benny Behnan and V Sharma; and the voice of her relative Vinu Kumar. The documents included the details of contacts with Vishnunath MLA, emails sent by Jikkumon, details of contacts with former Union Minister Palani Manikkam and details of the various documents filed as part of various solar projects.

Speaking to reporters outside the Commission’s office, Saritha said she had also produced a video clipping of her meeting with the Chief Minister along with Sreedharan Nair. The videos were recorded at Kerala House and Rose House, the Chief Minister’s residence. There are also obscene videos of A P Anilkumar and K C Venugopal MP, and audio clipping of an obscene conversation Adoor Prakash had with Saritha.

“The incident at the Chief Minister’s office was recorded using my mobile phone, in which myself, the Chief Minister, Joppan and Sreedharan Nair are clearly visible,” Saritha said, adding that the video would be handed over to media soon.

“A person close to the Chief Minister has promised me to submit images of my physical relation with CM, which he will either produce directly before the Commission or hand over to me,” said Saritha, adding that she was trapped and sexually harassed by the politicians at Rose House.

“I was invited to Rose House in the guise of discussing a project, on the day when the BJP called a 48-hour-strike over petrol price hike. My manager and driver, who had accompanied me to Rose House on that day, were asked to wait outside. As soon as I entered the house, K C Venugopal closed the door and trapped me inside. The incident was recorded by one of his managers on mobile phone. Later, I had to purchase the mobile phone for not leaking the video,” said Saritha. According to her, when Venugopal visited Kozhikode for inaugurating the Energy Mart, he asked her to meet him personally in New Delhi. “The obscene videos and audio of the ministers will be made public only with permission of the Solar Commission,” said Saritha. When asked whether there were political motives behind submitting such crucial evidence on the eve of the election, Saritha said she decided to prove her innocence when defamation case was filed against her. “If submission of the evidence was done with political interest, I would have done it several weeks ago,” added Saritha.
