Trichy: The Fort police in Trichy have registered a cheating case against a couple and their relative for allegedly collecting Rs 25 lakh from a man under the false promise of securing a railway job for his son.
Details of the Case
According to police, G Shanmugam, a 60-year-old resident of EB Road, became acquainted with P Srinivasan in 2018. When Shanmugam sought assistance in finding employment for his son, Srinivasan allegedly assured him that he could arrange a position in the Indian Railways.
Trusting the promise, Shanmugam paid a total of Rs 25 lakh to Srinivasan in installments over several years. However, the promised job never materialized, and the money was not returned, police said.
Complaint and Legal Action
Shanmugam lodged a formal complaint with the Fort Crime police unit last month. Based on the complaint, the Trichy city police registered a case on Saturday against Srinivasan, his wife, and his father, Paramasivam.
Police confirmed that further investigation is underway, and no arrests have been made so far.
