She was booked under IPC sections 406 for breach of trust, 420 for cheating, and 506/1 for criminal intimidation based on a complaint given by Gunaseelan and his wife Kalanidhi from Rasipuram.
A complaint was earlier given by Gunaseelan in this regard to Rasipuram police, however, he then withdrew the case. He again lodged a fresh complaint with the crime branch on Wednesday.
