Letter handed over to Balakrishna Pillai, says Saritha S Nair

KOCHI: The letter written by me when arrested and lodged in Pathanamthita jail in the solar case, was handed over to Kerala Congress (B) chairman R Balakrishna Pillai, said Saritha S Nair, one of the main accused in the case. Meantime, she sought more time to hand over the letter to Justice Sivarajan Commission probing the case.

She said the letter was handed over to the jail superintendent. "The allegation of the superintendent that the letter contains 21 pages is false. The letter was later handed over to my advocate Fenny Balakrishnan. It was Fenny who handed over the letter to Pillai via K B Ganesh Kumar’s PA."

Meantime, she lodged a complaint against the police in connection with solar case investigation. After arresting her in the case, her house was examined before she was taken there to collect evidence. The police took her laptop and hard discs. She told the commission that when she was brought later to her house to collect evidence, nothing could be recovered.

"The Perumbavoor police did not produce in the court all the things seized while arresting her.  The police seized her laptop, four mobile phones, three pen drives and six discs. Only the laptop and two mobiles were produced in the court. At the time of her arrest, she had Rs 55,000 in her account. However, it was missing later. There is no information regarding the amount," she said.

I’m not responsible to prove truth of letter, says Saritha S Nair

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: "The letter released now is not mine and it is not my responsibility to prove the authenticity of it," said Saritha S Nair, accused in the solar case. The 30-page letter written in jail was handed over to the personal assistant of former minister Ganesh Kumar. Talking to the media, she said the letter was handed to the personal assistant due to my friendly relation with Ganesh.

The contents of the letter is about my life and has not mentioned the name of Jose K Mani MP, she said. However, the letter has the names of politicians and higher ups. Showing reporters the letter written in jail, she said the last page of the letter has her signature. The complaint against A P Abdullakutty was not directly written by me but by somebody else. This handwriting was copied in the letter released yesterday. Anybody’s handwriting can be copied, she said.

"Please don’t ruin the political life of Jose K Mani by leveling baseless allegations. In the present situation, the original letter cannot be exposed now," she said.
