VS approaches HC for CBI probe in solar case
Kochi: Opposition Leader V.S. Achuthanandan has moved the High Court seeking a central agency probe into the solar scandal case.
In a plea filed at the court on Friday, the CPI-M leader demands a CBI probe into the multi-crore fraud as the special investigation team which went into the case failed to probe effectively the allegations against the chief minister’s and ministers’ offices, their telephone calls and that of their staff.
The UDF ministers like A P Anil Kumar have links with the key accused Saritha Nair. There are some central ministers involved in the case too. The state police probe has failed to unearth the financial involvement of those ‘big names’ in the case, the plea says.
As per reports, Achuthanandan’s move is aimed at bringing the solar case into focus during the election campaign thereby boosting the LDF's prospects.
The party is also backing him to go ahead with the legal battle.
