Coimbatore: Venkatesh, a car dealer and owner of V.G.M Travels in Goundampalayam has reportedly cheated many people from Coimbatore, Erode, Pollachi, Chennai and other parts of the city.
The car owners had apparently fallen for his scam because they had seen his advertisements in reputed newspapers offering money for cars on an agreement basis.
Venkatesh had reportedly paid them for a few months and seven months later had stopped all payments. He has also reportedly received Rs.3 lakh from each of the car owners promising to build a home for senior citizens and the blind. A case was filed against him in 2018 at the Thudiyalur police station. He then offered car dealers a deal of getting all their vehicles for money which also never materialised. Hence the car owners have now petitioned the Coimbatore Collector, K Rajamani to arrest Venkatesh who is reportedly absconding.
