Two men arrested in Chennai for pledging fake gold ornaments

Kiswahili

Police arrested two men in Chennai after they tried to pledge fake gold ornaments at a bank branch. The suspects had allegedly used the same method to cheat several other banks earlier.

The arrests took place after Rajesh Tiwari Soni and Tamilselvan approached the Indian Overseas Bank in Secretariat Colony on Friday afternoon. They sought to pledge gold ornaments weighing about 15.4 grams.

Bank appraiser Kumaran, 27, examined the items and determined they were fake. He alerted the authorities, leading the Secretariat Colony Police Station crime wing to register a case for cheating.

Officers arrested Rajesh Tiwari Soni, 54, and Tamilselvan, 48. Police seized the fake gold-plated ornaments along with a two-wheeler from the men.
