The High Court of Kerala has issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Central and State governments on a petition filed by the solar scam accused demanding a probe into the role of 14 people, including former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy’s son Chandy Oommen and a few ministers in the Chandy-led Cabinet, in the alleged sexual exploitation of the petitioner.

This follows a petition filed by the accused demanding a CBI probe into the role of high-profile people in the case. Alleging that the probe so far covered only the role of four people, she demanded a probe into the role of Mr. Chandy Oommen; former ministers Aryadan Mohammed, A.P. Anil Kumar and Adoor Prakash; and others in the case.

The plea has been posted for hearing after two weeks. The case had earlier been probed by the Crime Branch.
