KOCHI: The Solar row which has been a constant headache for the Congress has made a return. Three MLAs have been charged with sexual assault. The case was charged on the petition of a woman. The Crime Branch has registered a case against them and submitted the same at the high court.

This case has come on back of the scam by Team Solar regarding the installment of solar panels. The Crime Branch has submitted the FIR at the special court in Kochi that considers cases involving MLAs/MPs. In the light of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, this might prove to be a backlash for the Congress.
