Solar scam accused Saritha Nair gets 6 years RI in cheating case

A Court here on Tuesday sentenced solar scam accused Saritha Nair to six years' rigorous imprisonment besides slapping a fine of Rs 40,000 on her in a cheating case in which she took money from a person but failed to deliver solar panels to him. Saritha had taken an amount to the tune of Rs 42.75 lakh in 2012 from one Abdul Majeed, promising to supply solar panels to him, but she failed to keep her promise. Incidentally, Saritha was ducking the Kozhikode Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court, and despite a few warrants issued against her, she failed to appear before the court. Last week, the police from Kozhikode took Nair into custody from state capital Thiruvananthapuram and produced her before the court later in the day, which remanded her to judicial custody. (IANS)
