SRM cheating case: 129 medical aspirants get back money
Rs. 81.58 crore given from Pachamuthu’s bail deposit
The Madras High Court-appointed Commissioner, N. Paul Vasanthakumar, the former Chief Justice of Jammu & Kashmir High Court, has disbursed over Rs. 81 crore to 129 claimants who reportedly paid money to get seats in medical colleges run by the SRM group.
Last year, the SRM University Chancellor, T.R. Pachamuthu alias Parivendhar, Vendhar Movies S. Madhan and seven others were arrested by the Central Crime Branch following complaints by the parents of medical aspirants who paid money for seats. Subsequently, in order to secure bail, Pachamuthu deposited Rs. 90 crore.
Case quashed by SC
The Supreme Court had recently ordered the quashing of the criminal case.
The deposited amount is being disbursed through Justice Paul Vasanthakumar, (retd.) to the claimants.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Crime Branch-II, S. Radhakrishnan told The Hindu , “As many as 143 claimants came forward and submitted the necessary proof to substantiate their claims. The Commissioner, after going through them, disbursed Rs. 81.58 crore to 129 claimants so far. Another 14 claims are under scrutiny.”
