The Chit Fund and Kandhu Vatti Investigation wing of the Central Crime Branch has arrested a 49-year-old woman, who had been absconding for four years after allegedly cheating several persons by collecting money on the pretext of a Deepavali chit fund scheme.
The police identified the accused as Amudha. M, who hails from Triplicane in Chennai. She was arrested following a complaint from B. Saranya, who alleged that the accused had collected ₹54 lakh from several persons via three intermediaries under the guise of a Deepavali chit fund and gift voucher scheme at her house in Triplicane.
She, however, absconded without returning the money, the complainant said.
