COIMBATORE: The Annur police on Sunday filed a first information report in connection with a case filed by Tamil film actress P Bhuvaneswari in 2012 about a man cheating her of 32 cents of land worth Rs 3 crore.
The police had then entered the complaint only in the Community Service Register and not filed an FIR. They explained the delay by claiming that prima facie evidence was found only now to file and FIR.
Police sources said that Bhuvaneswari (35), who belongs to Thennampalayam, Annur, and now resides in Chennai, owned 64 cents in Annur. In 2012, a resident of the area, K M Subramaniam, approached her to buy half of her property there. Bhuvaneswari agreed to sell the property. According to her complaint, after completing the land transaction, Subramaniam forged documents and managed to transfer the rest of Bhuvaneswari’s land also to his name. The complaint had also said that she had built a theatre on this land.
The Annur police have now registered a case against Subramaniam under sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record) of the Indian Penal Code.
However, no arrests have been made so far in the case.
