Man held for posing as Railway policeman
Staff Reporter
TAMBARAM:
The Selaiyur police have arrested a 44-year-old man on the charges of posing as an officer of the Railway Protection Force and extorting money from scrap iron merchants in the Tambaram area.
Police said Subramani, employed with a nationalised bank at Meenambakkam, took Rs. 500 from a scrap iron merchant in Irumbuliyur two months ago. Posing as an RPF officer, he had threatened the merchant that he would penalise him for "stealing goods" belonging to the Railways and selling them illegally. The merchant bribed him on two occasions. Subramani came to the shop again on Thursday evening and demanded cash.
Growing suspicious, the merchant and other shop owners in the area took him to the Selaiyur police station, where it was learnt that he was only a bank employee and a resident of Old Perungulathur.
Ramasundar, a 30-year-old man running a restaurant on Old Mamallapuram Road, was killed when he was knocked down by a sewage cleaning tanker on Thursday evening. The victim was returning to his house on a cycle when the accident took place at Seevaram.
He was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.
The Thoraipakkam police are investigating.
