THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: State police chief Loknath Behera is yet to take a decision on a fresh petition of Solar scam convict Saritha S Nair raising various allegations, including rape charges against former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. Sources at police headquarters said that a legal opinion sought by the police chief on the matter was still awaited and hence the delay in taking a decision. Meanwhile, legal sources said that since rape charges were raised by a woman the police would be under legal compulsion to register a case, irrespective of the antecedents of the complainant.
