Mr. Rajendran alleged that the persons took Rs. 28.5 lakh for a medical seat under other State quota to his son during 2013.
But they failed to obtain the seat as promised or return the money.
According to police sources, Kothandraman, hailing from Tirunelveli district also runs a non-governmental organisation in the name of Social Education and Action for Rural Development Trust in Tamil Nadu and also has branch office at Saradhambal Nagar.
