In a major chit fund fraud, a case was registered on Tuesday against a chit fund company for allegedly cheating several people across the state.
The case has been registered against Thrissur natives, Joby Davis, 42, and Gopi, owners of Amritha Chit Fund Company.
The company has been operating in a rented building at Lissie Junction here for the last few years.
According to the police, 23 complaints have been received in the last two days alone, with the fraudsters siphoning-off `32 lakh.
The duo had been collecting money from traders mostly based in Thrissur and who were cheated by the fraudulent money chain companies in the past. The accused absconded last month with the invested money and their mobile numbers are currently switched off.
The police estimate that the duo have collected about `1 crore from more than 100 persons. The police have seized two bikes and one scooter belonging to the company and has closed down the office.
