The accused, K Saroja (40) of Royapuram, M Arumugam (45) of New Washermenpet, and D Venkatesan (41) of Ekkaduthangal, received Rs 12 lakh in 2017 from K Muniasamy (41) of Mannadi on the promise of getting three houses costing Rs 4 lakh each.

A few months later, Munisamy was given allotment orders but he later found out that they were fake.

A hunt has been launched for the main accused, Jagadeesh.
