Staff Reporter

KOCHI: The City Police on Saturday night searched the residence of Santhosh Madhavan on whom Interpol has issued a look-out notice.

The police action comes on the basis of the complaint lodged via e-mail. The case against Santhosh Madhavan, also known as Amruta Chaitanya, was that he cheated an Indian national of four lakh Dirhams in Dubai and the Interpol website said arrest warrant had been issued in Dubai against him.

As there was no one at the apartment at the Royal Stadium Mansion complex at Kadavanthra, the police party broke open the lock and entered it. During the search the police took into custody a tiger skin, estimated to be worth nearly Rs.1.5 lakh, hundreds of adult film CDs, registration documents of land, a police officer’s uniform, some ganja, among others.

The search was led by P.M. Varghese, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Ernakulam.

Inspector General, Ernakulam Range, Vinson M. Paul, and City Police Commissioner Manoj Abraham visited the place.

Police searched the guest house owned by Santhosh Madhavan on SRM Road here on Thursday.

Different person

Meanwhile, the police have confirmed that Santhosh Madhavan in whose name a look-out notice has been issued on the website of the CBI on charges of possession of sophisticated weapons is a different person.
