The Police on Thursday arrested a 45-year-old man for allegedly cheating people in the pretext of arranging seats in professional colleges.
Sobhakumar, from Balaramapuram, was arrested from a travel agency he ran at Karamana. According to the police, the accused took Rs 18 lakh from a Delma Joy from Vakkom, after promising an MBBS seat for her daughter in SUT Medical College, Vattappara.
Delma had filed the complaint before the Nemom police in 2011. But the case was later handed over to the Crime Detachment wing after the complainant alleged that local police was not properly probing the case.
The police had arrested a Rajendran, an alleged accomplice of Shobhakumar, a few months ago.
