The Madras High Court issued summons to popular Tamil producer KE Gnanavel Raja in the alleged connection with Rs 300 crore money laundering case on Thursday. The HC had ordered Raja to appear in person at the Ramanathapuram police station on August 7 in connection with the case.
One Tulsi Manikandan had approached the cops to register a case of cheating against Neethimani, Menaka and Anand for embezzling Rs 300 crore, during the course of which Raja’s name was also dragged into the controversy.
However, in a recent notice by his lawyer, Raja claims that he too is a victim of Neethimani and alleges that he was cheated by the latter during the dealings associated with the film, Magamuni. Raja’s plea to video-conferencing has been shot down by the cops, who are insisting upon his physical presence for the case to progress better.
Raja's lawyer also alleges that the scam runs up to Rs 3 crore and not Rs 300 crore as mentioned in news outlets. The entire notice can be viewed below.
