Complainant Shruthi, in her complaint said, "Navya introduced Yatheesh Mareel as her brother on the pretext of getting a job for me. I paid Rs 8,000 to him as per the instruction of Navya. Similarly, others also paid him money through Google Pay. Yatheesh collected Rs 80,000 from 10 people and demanded more money from us. When we said that it is not possible to give more money, he abused us in profane language and switched off his mobile phone. Later when we called Navya, she also did not speak to us properly.

"We are cheated. During Covid, we did not have a job. Whatever we saved, we lost now due to this fraud. We have got information that many more people are also conned in other places. So suitable action needs to be taken against Yatheesh Mareel and Navya,” stated Shruthiin her complaint.

A complaint in this regard is registered in the police station.

Shruthi had brought this incident to the notice of pro-Hindu organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and Durgavahini unit. They accompanied the complainant to the Puttur city police station and got the complaint filed. The organizations have urged the police to take legal action against the fraudsters.
