The matter first surfaced in April last year when the complainant approached the police alleging fraud. The complainant, who runs an electronics business, wanted to expand his business and required a financial loan of up to ₹150 crores. He was introduced to Suresh Naidu from Navi Mumbai, who claimed to provide easy loan assistance. However, more people got involved, including Rajan, who mostly met the complainant in Tamil Nadu.
Rajan allegedly demanded ₹3 crore as a registration fee, which he said would go to the Kerala government. After multiple trips to Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the complainant deposited the ₹3 crore, but heard nothing from the group and was avoided when he tried to contact them. Eventually, the group returned ₹1 crore, but the complainant, feeling hopeless, approached the police and registered a case against them.
In February, the police arrested Thomas Madura, Sethuraj Ashirvadam, and Shanmugasundaram Andiyyappan. The police are currently looking for other suspects and are undertaking further investigation. Rajan has been remanded to police custody for further investigation, and his name will be added to a supplementary chargesheet.
The case highlights the growing instances of loan frauds in the city, and the need for individuals to be cautious while seeking financial assistance. The police have appealed to citizens to report any such cases to prevent further frauds.
