Case registered against Kerala BJP leader AN Radhakrishnan and three others for alleged half-price two-wheeler scam.
Thrikkakara police have registered a case against senior BJP leader AN Radhakrishnan and three other party functionaries on Thursday evening over allegations of a half-price vehicle scam. The case follows a complaint filed by a Paravur resident who accused the leaders of cheating him out of money with a promise to provide a two-wheeler at half its market price.
The complainant stated that despite paying the amount nearly two years ago, neither the vehicle was delivered nor the money refunded. The accused in the case, in addition to Radhakrishnan, include BJP leaders Sumesh, Rupesh Menon, and KT Bineesh. The police registered the case under charges of cheating and criminal breach of trust.
Investigators revealed that similar complaints regarding the alleged scam have emerged from different parts of Kerala. Authorities are currently verifying these reports to determine the full extent and reach of the alleged fraudulent scheme.
