Just in: Kerala court orders FIR against CM Oommen Chandy in solar scam case.

Deposing before a judicial commission probing the 'solar scam', prime accused in the case Saritha S Nair Wednesday alleged that she had paid a bribe of Rs 1.90 crore to Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy through his personal aides to set up mega power projects in the state, the Indian Express reported.


Nair also claimed she had paid a bribe of Rs 40 lakh to Power Minister and senior Congress leader Aryadan Muhammed.


Denying the allegations, Chandy said, "For what purpose would she have bribed me? Did she get any advantage or financial benefit from the state government that requires payment of bribe?


Nair and her company Team Solar had not gained the benefit of a single paisa from the government. Nor had the government incurred any loss in the fraud.' Nair's allegations come a day after Chandy refused to undergo a lie-detector test while deposing before the judicial commission.
