Solar scam key accused Saritha Nair on Friday said she had submitted more "evidence" to a government-appointed commission on the alleged involvement of senior Congress leaders in the case.

"The evidence pertains to two state ministers and others," Nair told reporters here.

"I have also submitted photographs of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Sreedharan Nair (businessman who lost money in the solar business) and myself standing together," Saritha said.

Chandy has all along denied meeting her in Nair's company.

She said an audio link of Chandy speaking to a person on her behalf has been submitted.

Chandy and Venugopal have already filed a defamation case against Saritha Nair and the news channel which aired in April her alleged letter accusing Chandy and other leaders of sexually exploiting her.

The solar scam surfaced when Saritha and her live-in partner Biju Radhakrishnan were arrested in 2013 on charge of cheating numerous investors of over Rs.6 crore.
