Solar scam accused rape case: CBI officials examine rooms at MLA hostel

The CBI, which is probing the alleged sexual exploitation of a con woman involved in the solar scam in Kerala, on Tuesday examined rooms at the legislators’ hostel which had been used by Congress lawmaker Hibi Eden.

Eden, who represents the Ernakulam constituency in the Lok Sabha, is one of the alleged accused in the rape case and the incident occurred when Eden was a legislator in the state assembly.

The Central Bureau of Investigation, which took over the probe from the state police in August last year, examined the rooms at the hostel along with the woman. The woman allegedly cheated investors by promising solar solutions and shares in solar energy projects.
