Speaking to the media, Warangal Commissioner of Police (CP) Dr Tarun Joshi said that Ganesh, who was working as an agent for Achala Chit Funds, requested the mobile repair shop owner Pittala Raju to invest 15 lakh in the company.
He agreed, and after the completion of his tenure, Raju asked the company to return his amount. The company gave him three cheques, of which two bounced.
