Actor Radha Files Police Complaint Over Alleged Rs 46 Crore Cheque Fraud by SiblingsPreviousNext

Veteran actor Radha has filed a police complaint against her sister Ambika and brother Mallikarjuna Kunjan Nair, alleging misuse of five signed blank cheques from her Chennai residence to claim around Rs 46 crore. Radha stated the cheques, originally for routine business expenses, were stolen and filled out by her brother without her consent. She promptly stopped the payments after being alerted by her bank.
