The Ernakulam Rural police have arrested two more accused in connection with a case in which fake gold was pawned at Thiruvaranikkulam Service Cooperative Bank.
The arrested were identified as Vineesh, 32, of Chowara, and Shaji, 43, of Vengola. They were the second and third accused in the case while the first accused had already been arrested.
The police said that it was Shaji who made the fake ornaments for pawning. The accused had committed fraud by drawing ₹46,000 by pawning fake ornaments at the bank last February.
The accused were arrested based on a tip-off received by the District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural) K. Karthik. He said that probe was on to find out whether the accused had committed similar frauds elsewhere.
