A former panchayat president who misused DVAC’s name and tried to dupe a man from Salem of ₹2.4 lakh was arrested on Saturday. The accused himself has a case pending with the agency for discrepancies during his tenure as Kongupatti panchayat president.
Police said the accused Ammasi was formerly the president of Kongupatti panchayat at Omalur taluk in Salem district. He approached a man in Salem claiming the DVAC had registestered a case against him and proposed to get the case closed using his connections. He demanded ₹2.4 lakh to get the job done.
The man sensed trouble and approached DVAC directly. After registering a case, the DVAC sleuths asked the man to invite Ammasi and the accused was caught red-handed while receiving the cash. TNN
