Panchayat president held in Ranipet for non-payment of cash
A case was registered by Nemili police and upon investigation, Kumaresan was arrested and lodged at Central Prison in Vellore
A 45-year-old Panchayat president from Peruvalam village named R. Kumaresan was arrested on Wednesday in Ranipet for allegedly failing to return the remaining cash after selling a piece of land. The victim, B. Munusamy, was a farmer residing in the neighboring Seruvalayam village who owned 40 cents of land, approximately 17,500 square feet.
Munusamy decided to sell his 40 cents of land for its current market price. Kumaresan entered into an agreement with Munusamy to sell the property to potential buyers. However, Munusamy alleged that Kumaresan only handed over around ₹5 lakh, whereas the land was eventually sold for ₹25 lakh. Kumaresan is also accused of threatening Munusamy.
A case was registered by the Nemili police, and upon investigation, Kumaresan was arrested and detained at the Central Prison in Vellore. An ongoing probe is being conducted.
