TIRUPUR: The Udumalpet police arrested two people on Wednesday for attempting to withdraw Rs 5.7 lakh by forging the signature of a forest department official.
Police identified them as Palanisamy, 28, who was working as a temporary staff at the Anamalai Tiger Reserve office (ATR) in Udumalpet and his colleague Premkumar. Palanisamy stole a cheque leaf from the department and forged the signature of ATR deputy director Arockiaraj Xavier on Monday.
He gave the cheque to Premkumar, who deposited it in a nationalised bank at Udumalpet. On Tuesday, bank staff contacted ATR officials to inquire about the signature, which appeared to be different.
