The District Crime Branch (DCB) police have arrested S. Surya Prakash, a former Karur District Revenue Officer (DRO), in connection with a fresh real estate scam amounting to a staggering Rs9.50 crore. Surya Prakash, who was serving as a Special District Revenue Officer at the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO), has now found himself embroiled in a new case of fraud.
Surya Prakash was already in judicial custody in the Tiruchi Central Prison for a previous cheating case when the latest charges were leveled against him. The police confirmed that the new scam is linked to fraudulent activities in the real estate sector, further complicating the legal issues surrounding him.
The investigation into the ₹9.50 crore fraud is ongoing, and authorities are looking into the full scope of his involvement in the real estate scam. Surya Prakash’s previous role in the TIDCO adds another layer to the case, as he may have used his position to facilitate fraudulent transactions.
