On September 14, 37-year-old Sudhakar of Kayalarmedu village suffered grievous injuries in an accident after his two-wheeler was hit by a car. Though the driver managed to escape from the scene, the car was seized. However, on Thursday morning, the car that was parked at the police station went missing.
Police tried to find the owner’s details and found the registration number to be fake. Further investigation led to the arrest of four men Dhananchezhiyan (42), his son Krishna (24), Saddam Hussain (23) and Nasarayya (23).
Inquiries revealed that the car belongs to a woman in Maduravoyal, from whom the father-son duo took it on lease after agreeing to pay the car loan EMI amount every month. However, they did not pay the EMI and instead changed the registration number to evade the financiers.
After the car met with an accident, they sent their drivers, Saddam Hussain and Nasarayya, to drive away the car from the police station hoping that they cannot be traced because the registration number was fake. However, they landed in prison on Saturday.
