Leaked letter was Saritha’s original letter: Pillai

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Congress (B) chairman R. Balakrishna Pillai Friday came out with a new revelation, saying that the letter leaked out to television channels was the original letter written by solar scam accused Saritha S Nair.

“The letter leaked out to television channels was the original letter written by Saritha Nair. I had read a copy of the letter earlier. Both are same,” Pillai told reporters after appearing before the solar judicial inquiry commission.

“The letter has mentioned that Thomas Kuruvila had received Rs. 25 lakh from Saritha. An MLA from Ernakulam had also accepted Rs. 5 lakh for the implementation of a solar project,” he said.

“The letter also points out the nexus among Saritha, the ministers and MLAs. My moral values do not allow me to reveal more,” he said.
