‘Biju Radhakrishnan murdered Reshmi, called quotation gang’

Kollam: Saritha S. Nair, the prime accused in the solar scam, told the  Principal Sessions and District Court here on Monday that Biju Radhakrishnan had given “quotation” to kill her after he became close to Shalu Menon, another accused in the scam. She also said she was blackmailed by Biju  as he had her nude  pictures with him.

Saritha  revealed this to the  magistrate when  she was produced in the court for trial in the  Resmi murder case. Saritha identified Biju  before  the magistrate after which she said he had naked pictures of Resmi also.

While she and Biju were staying together in Thiruvananthapuram, Biju had said that he had given “quotation” to kill Resmi also. Saritha wept in front of the court saying Biju had given “quotation” to kill her also  in a planned car accident after he became close to Shalu Menon, a serial artist.

When Biju’s  advocate cross-examined  Saritha asking her whether the stories stated  by her were  “mere speculation,”  she replied that those were from her “real-life experiences”.
Biju  had told Saritha  that he had murdered Resmi and also threatened that  he would take only “two minutes” to kill her.

When Saritha asked Biju to register their marriage, he tortured her by hitting her on the back  of her head. She also said  Resmi might have been  murdered in a similar way.  Biju had tortured her by crushing her hands between doors, she said.
