Actor Radha Files Rs 46 Crore Cheque Fraud Complaint Against Sister and Brother
Actor Radha filed a police complaint on September 21 against her sister Ambika and brother Mallikarjuna Kunjan Nair, alleging misuse of five signed blank cheques from her Chennai residence. The cheques, linked to her business account at IDBI Bank, were reportedly used without her knowledge to claim around Rs 46 crore in Ambika's name. Radha stated the cheques were intended for routine expenses and accused her siblings of acting together for unlawful financial gain amid a family property dispute. She instructed the bank to stop payment upon learning of the encashment attempt.
