The court in Coimbatore adjourned the hearing of the case against Saritha to March 2.
Solar scam accused Saritha Nair today alleged that she was receiving calls threatening her not to speak against Kerala Chief Minister Oomen Chandy, whom she has accused of corruption.
Saritha, appearing before a city court in connection with a cheating case against her, told reporters that she was getting threat calls from Congress leaders, industrialists and others after she submitted evidence and documents in digital format to the Justice C Sivarajan Commission, probing the scam, on February 9.
"I have not sought police protection despite receiving threat calls," she said, adding that she has 27 cases against her in Kerala and two in Tamil Nadu.
Deposing before the commission, Saritha had alleged that she had paid bribes totalling Rs 1.9 crore to a close aide of Mr Chandy.
Refuting allegations that she was being instigated by leaders of Left parties, Saritha claimed the solar issue would have a negative impact on Congress in the coming Assembly elections in Kerala.
The court in Coimbatore adjourned the hearing of the case against Saritha to March 2.
Saritha and her accomplice Biju Radhakrishnan are accused of duping several industrialists of crores of rupees by offering solar panel solutions which were never delivered.
