Coimbatore: Following the arrest of Krishnamurthy, owner of private financial firm LG Marketing in Nava India by the City Crime Branch police a few days back, a raid was conducted at Krishnamurthy's house in Saravanampatti and incriminating documents related to the investment racket case were seized.

Krishnamoorthy, a native of Saravanampatti, was running a finance company called LG Marketing in New India, Peelamedu.

He had been receiving investments from investors on the pretext of giving high returns with high interest rates.
