The police, investigating a complaint by an Iranian couple that a maritime institute at Kadavanthara had swindled them out of `15 lakh, have filed a report before the Ernakulam District and Principal Sessions Court that the institute is suspected to have cheated several other people.
The police filed the report after Esperance Lamba, 49, managing director of Controy Career Guidance Limited, and Vijay V, its CEO, filed an anticipatory bail petition at the court.
Last week, Monu Momeni Zhamatkesh and Peyman Pauzeshi Moin of Tehran had lodged a complaint against Controy Career Guidance Limited and Euro Tech Maritime Academy.
As per the complaint, the institute took `l5 lakh from the couple for a three-month course promising to give them a placement in Canada. Controy Career Guidance is a subsidiary institute of Euro Tech Maritime Academy.
In the anticipatory bail, Esperance Lamba and Vijay V had stated that they had cleared all the dues of the Iranian couple. The police, in its report, submitted that there had been complaints against the same institution on several occasions.
