Actor and Keralite Prashant Narayanan has been arrested and is in jail following his alleged involvement in a cheating case, said a Kerala Police official.
Inspector A. Prathap who arrested the 50-year-old Edakkad-born actor and his Bengali wife Shona, from Mumbai said both of them were now in judicial custody.
‘The case pertains to cheating. The complainant is Thomas Panicker, who was the producer of a Malayalam film, in which Narayanan acted in 2017. After the film the two became close and Panicker was told that his wife’s father had a company in Mumbai and if he invested in it, he would be made a Director.
‘Panicker invested Rs 1.20 crore and after that, he came to know he was cheated. He then filed the complaint,’ said Prathap. Prathap said he along with a seven member Kerala Police team reached Mumbai and after surveillance for three days, they managed to nab the actor. (IANS)
