 A case of
cheating of money to the tune of Rs.10 lakhs has been filed
against Santhanam with the Greater Chennai Commissionerate of
Police. 42-year old Ravikishen, an ice-factory owner who is a
resident of Uthandi on the outskirts of Chennai, has filed the
case with the city police commissioner Tripathy accusing
Santhanam of cheating him to the tune of Rs.10 lakh.
In his complaint submitted to the commissioner, Ravi Kishan has
said that “I owned a bungalow in my name at the Ulvai Street in
Virugambakkam. Santhanam, who wanted to acquire the property at
a cost which was far below the market rate, got the property
registered in his name for Rs.1.85 crores after intimidating me
and my father, though the property was valued at 2.25 crore.
“The registration of the above-said property
was done on 10.3.2010. However, after the registration of the
property, Santhanam backtracked on his commitment to pay Rs.1.85
crores and paid me only Rs.1.75 crores. He said he’d give the
balance of Rs.10 lakh at a latter date. He then gave me a cheque
for Rs.2.5 lakhs which was returned by the bank for want of
funds.
“My repeated please to him to return the amount of Rs.10 lakh
were met either with no responses or with him threatening to
‘finish me off’. He had also taken away by force many house-hold
items from my house valued at Rs.10 lakhs. I, therefore, request
you to take appropriate action to get me my due money and other
items,” the complaint concluded. |
