Four Arrested in Chennai for Abduction and Gold Trading Fraud Cases
Chennai police arrested four men in two separate cases involving businessmen. In Kilpauk, a 57-year-old aluminum wholesaler was abducted during a morning walk, threatened for a 50 lakh ransom, robbed of a gold chain, and later released; the suspects were caught during a ransom handover. In Egmore, four individuals were arrested for allegedly cheating a wholesale gold trader of 63 lakh by promising discounted gold, with the main accused still at large. Investigations continue in both cases.
