KOCHI: The Crime Branch (CB) probing the cheating case against conman Monson Mavunkal on Wednesday issued a notice to a complainant in the case to produce documents to prove that no black money was paid to the accused.
The CB issued the notice to Yakoob, a businessman from Mukkam, asking him to appear at its office in Kochi with relevant documents on Friday.
Earlier, Yakoob had approached the vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau claiming that CB DySP Y R Rustom took Rs 1.5 lakh from him during the probe. However, CB maintained that, of the Rs 10 crore paid by six businessmen including Yakoob to Monson, Rs 7.9 crore was hawala money.
During the probe, the six businessmen could only submit details regarding Rs 2.1 crore to the agency. Yakoob raised the complaint against CB when the agency was planning to inform the ED regarding the hawala transactions.
Meanwhile, two of the complainants in the case on Wednesday submitted a petition to the ED requesting a detailed probe into the financial transactions in the case. The original complaint is that Monson took Rs 10 crore from six businessmen claiming that his bank account was frozen.
