Crime branch likely to take over probe on irregularities in sub-registrar office

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The fraud case of Rs 50 lakh noticed in the  Thiruvallam sub registrar office is likely to hand over to the crime branch. Fort assistant commissioner had given a report to city police commissioner seeking a probe in the case by a special agency as a comprehensive probe is needed in the case where an amount of 56 lakh to be remitted in the treasury was swindled using a fake seal. An order may be released soon handing over the case to crime branch’s economic crime section.

It is necessary to find out what Vishnu, the accused arrested in the case, did with the money. On questioning, he has confessed to have spent the amount in cities outside the state. He may be taken to those places to collect evidence.
