The city police arrested the manager of a jewellery shop in Chromepet for defrauding customers to the tune of ₹17.57 lakh. Based on a complaint filed by Nivedha, 35, of Kadapperi, the police arrested Muthukumar, 37, manager of Nathella Jewellers, which has a branch on GST Road.
The complainant said she had deposited monthly installments and when she sought to purchase jewellery, the shop and floor in-charge staff did not give her clear responses. When she approached the manager, he too gave an evasive reply. This led to the complainant approaching the police. ”We are probing if any such incidents occurred in other branches too, said an officer.
