Couple arrested for forgery, cheating

CHENNAI: Central crime branch (CCB) sleuths arrested a couple on charges of forging documents and cheating a private financial institution in Ashok Nagar.
Police said C Raja, 32, and his wife K R Mili 31, took a loan of 47 lakh from Repco Home Finance Ltd in 2009 and failed to repay the amount. “When Repco officials attempted to take possession of the property that they had mortgaged, they discovered that the documents had been forged,” a police officer said.
Based on a complaint by the assistant general manager of Repco Home Finance Ltd, CCB officers registered a case and arrested Raja and Mili at their house in Madipakkam’s Sakthi Nagar Extension.
The couple was remanded in judicial custody after being produced before a magistrate’s court in the city. The CCB police are continuing their investigation of the incident.
