One Palani native J. Jegadeesh (37) was arrested on Wednesday for duping eight persons of ₹ 2.60 crore. Two more persons have now lodged a complaint saying the accused had duped them of Rs 1 crore on the pretext of engaging in online trading.

A few others from Chennai, Madurai and other places in Tamil Nadu have also alleged that they have been cheated by Jegadeesh.
Jegadeesh was arrested based on a complaint given by R. Sivakumar, a resident of Nanjundapuram near Kallipalayam at Sarcarsamakulam, to Coimbatore Rural Superintendent of Police Ara. Arularasu.
