Actress
Shalu
Menon
was
refused
the
bail
by
the
court
yesterday
with
regard
to
the
solar
scam
scandal.
She
has
been
sent
to
the
police
custody
till
Wednesday.
Her
counsel
argued
that
she
is
a
public
figure
and
that
she
has
been
dragged
into
the
scandal.
But
the
court
said
that
there
were
no
proofs
to
make
her
convicted.
She
was
arrested
from
her
house
at
Perunna,
Changanassery,
on
last
Friday.
Police
listed
her
name
to
the
scandal
because
of
her
relation
with
Biju
Radhakrishnan,
the
kingpin.
She
was
alleged
for
helping
Biju
to
hide
his
money
and
also
accepting
a
share
of
it.
She
only
helped
Biju
to
escape
from
the
State
in
her
own
car
and
also
had
given
him
her
mobile
phone.
When
Biju
was
arrested
from
Coimbatore,
her
phone
was
identified
by
the
police
and
thus
she
also
got
arrested.
Shalu
Menon
refused
her
involvement
in
the
case
when
she
was
questioned
by
the
police
after
Biju's
arrest.
But
later
she
accepted
her
involvement
in
the
scandal
to
the
Special
Investigation
probe
for
this
case,
after
her
arrest.
Shalu
Menon
was
a
member
of
the
Censor
Board
and
now
she
has
been
removed
from
it
after
this
case.
She
owns
her
own
dancing
school
named
Jaya
Kerala
School
of
Performing
Arts.
