The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Avadi City Police has arrested 34-year-old Vetrivel, also known as Murugan, from Tenkasi, Tamil Nadu, in connection with a major financial scam. Vetrivel is accused of swindling more than Rs4 crore from funds that were intended for settling Goods and Services Tax (GST) dues for various private companies. The funds were meant to be managed by an auditing firm, but Vetrivel allegedly misappropriated the money for personal use.
The arrest follows an extensive investigation by the police, who tracked down the suspect after several private companies reported that their GST payments were not being settled as expected. Authorities suspect that Vetrivel exploited his position to divert the funds, leading to a significant financial loss.
