THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Arun, who filed a complaint against Saritha Nair for alleged job fraud, has revealed that she had called him 317 times by mentioning the names of various ministers.

Arun, who lives on the city outskirts, confirmed that he had got in touch with Saritha and paid money after she promised him a government job. He said that there were 317 telephone calls between them and after her call, he found out that the voice of the woman on the audio clip -- who claimed to be an employee at the state Secretariat -- sounded like Saritha's. Later, he said, he asked her if she was Saritha and she replied in the affirmative.

According to Arun, Saritha even gave him details about the program schedules of various ministers. "All those information given by her were true and she told me that the party had allowed her to receive commission by making appointments as an offer for standing by it during the solar scam. She also claimed that four people have been given jobs in the Arogya Kerala project," Arun said.
