The Central Crime Branch (CCB) on Tuesday arrested two women who were reported to be absconding in a case relating to misappropriation of ₹1.5 crore from a grocery store six years ago.
The police said C. Velmurugan from Madurai had been working in a grocery shop run by Pandi in Parry’s Corner. As he had been working for long, the shop owner entrusted the day-to-day affairs of the store and handling of daily income to Velmurugan.
Velmurugan opened many new accounts in 2015. Pandi recently noticed that funds were deposited in those accounts and lodged a complaint with the CCB. Police arrested Velmurugan last February and launched a hunt to nab others.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
