Police arrested a fake lawyer for cheating a retired government official of ₹13 lakh on Thursday.
Police said Jayapaul, 72, hired Yesupatham, 40, a resident of Chengalpet, to whom he was introduced through a common friend, to file a case against an engineer before the consumer court. Jayapaul had assigned an engineer to construct a building. Though, he spent more than ₹3 crore, he believed the engineer had cheated him by not completing all the work assigned to him as per the original deal.
Jayapaul gave at least ₹13 lakh to Yesupatham in instalments to pursue the case against the engineer. As he found there was no progress beyond preparing the draft and filing before the court, Jayapaul demanded that Yesupatham return the money he had paid. As he refused to return the cash, Jayapaul approached the Chengalpet taluk police station and lodged a complaint.
During questioning, police found Yesupatham had discontinued his LLB studies at Shri Venkateshwara University in Andhra Pradesh 15 years ago. However, without disclosing this fact, Yesupatham had been practising as a lawyer.
