The departmental probe was launched after finding that the Metro Inspector A Ananthalal and Meppadi SI AB Vipin had obtained a huge amount from the swindler.
It has been found that the money had been transferred from the bank account of Monson’s friend Joshy to the accounts of the officers. Reportedly, Ananthalal has received Rs 1 lakh and Vipin got Rs 1.75 lakhs from Monson Mavunkal. Ernakulam District Crime Branch SP has been entrusted with the charge of the investigation.
