Another fraud case related to actress Gautami has resurfaced following searches carried out by the Enforcement Directorate in Chennai and Madurai. The case is connected with claims made against illegal dealings of assets valued at almost Rs 25 crore owned by the actress. The fraud case has gained much publicity due to the involvement of an individual trusted to manage her properties. Officials are now examining financial transactions and property records connected to the complaint.
Property manager accused of misusing authority
According to the allegations, Gautami appointed film producer Alagappan as her power of attorney many years ago when she was dealing with health issues. As reported by News 18, the arrangement was intended to help manage and safeguard her properties. However, the actress later alleged that the powers accorded to him were misused. Instead of safeguarding her property, he illegally transferred several of her properties. It was also mentioned in the complaint that some valuable pieces of land owned by Gautami were disposed of illegally, causing her great losses.
Land deals worth crores under investigation
These include the supposed sale of a 46-acre piece of land in Sriperumbudur, as well as a large tract of land in Ramanathapuram district. Gautami asserts that both these dealings were fraudulent and undertaken by several people. Police cases have been booked against Alagappan, his family members, and other persons supposedly involved in such deals. It is being investigated whether the money obtained through these deals has been invested in purchasing properties in the name of relatives and others.
ED searches aim to trace the money trail
The Enforcement Directorate took up the investigation after receiving various case papers, property papers, and financial information regarding the charges made. There are fears that illegal financial dealings involving the properties in question may have occurred. The investigation is currently being carried out by searching several premises associated with the accused persons in Chennai and Madurai. Through this investigation, various financial papers and information are being studied to establish the degree of the alleged fraud. As the investigation intensifies, the case involving fraud on properties worth Rs 25 crore has become a hot topic once again.Disclaimer: The financial figures mentioned above are based on publicly available information and affidavits, and are approximate unless officially specified.
