After netting two main accused in a big online money chain case, the Kunnamangalam police have started their second-round probe to find the software developers who worked for the gang and operated their financial deals from Chennai.

Police officers heading the probe said they would soon leave for Chennai to conduct further investigations into the case in which several investors in Kerala and outside were duped. The directors of the fake firm named Orbit Media Studio, too, would be probed to expose the sham deals, they added.

Sumith Raj Sinha and Sunil Kumar, the two main accused who were earlier arrested in connection with the case, are now in police custody for further interrogation.
