Amid pathing with the twists and turns, Chennai Police Commissioner Shankar Jiwal has on Saturday opened up for the first time about the cheating complaint that was filed against actor Arya by a German-based doctor. The case has been troubling the actor for the past few weeks as the complainant had thrown a slew of allegations against Arya by alleging that he had cheated her of Rs 70 lakh with the fake promise of marrying her. The case has been taking shocking turns despite the Chennai police had arrested two people in connection to cheating.
As the woman's counsel has demanded the arrest of Arya and his mother as they have been named as the Accused No 1 and Accused No 2 respectively in the FIR, the Chennai Police Commissioner has spoken about the case on Saturday, two days after Arya had visited the commissioner's office. In a press meet on Saturday, Commissioner Shankar Jiwal has given a clean shit to the actor. He said, "A case was filed against Arya in connection to the complaint and investigation was carried out. There has been no evidence to date to show that Arya was involved in the crime."
"He (Arya) has met and thanked me for arresting the real culprits in the case", the commissioner added. His statement has drawn major attention as this case has become the talk of the town with Arya playing the lead role. Vidja, a Sri Lankan woman settled in Germany as a cardiologist, had filed an online complaint to the Chennai Police earlier this year in which she has alleged that Arya has cheated her of Rs 70 lakh by promising to marry her. She stated that Arya has received the money from her by saying that he was financially struggling due to the lockdown. However, the Chennai police haven't responded to her complaint after which she had approached the Madras High Court and sought a directive to file a case against Arya.
After hearing the petition, the High Court has ordered the Chennai Police to file its response about the complaint and investigate it. As the matter has reached the judiciary, the cybercrime branch of the Chennai Police had launched the probe and summoned Arya for investigations. Following the summon, Arya has appeared before Cybercrime wing inspector Geetha on August 10. The interrogation went on for three hours during which the police officers questioned the actor based on the woman's complaint. The police had also questioned Vidja through the video call.
Days after the investigation, the case has attracted a sudden twist as the police had arrested 32-year-old Mohammed Arman, a native of Pulianthope, Chennai, and his relative 34-year-old Mohammed Husaini. The police had said that these two people were behind the case as they had spoken with Vidja in Arya's voice and they went on to swindle the money from her under the guise of the actor. Following the arrest, they began further proceedings and Arya took to social media earlier and thanked the police commissioner for arresting the real culprits. As the police have arrested the responsible for cheating, it was said that the case has come to an end and Arya was relieved from the trouble. He was back to normal life until he has invited fresh trouble from the woman.
Vidja's advocate has knocked the High Court and said that the FIR filed by the Chennai Police in this matter carries Arya as Accused No 1 and his mother Jameela as Accused No 2, while the arrested duo was Accused 3 and 4. As Arya and his mother are the main accused in the matter, the advocate has demanded that they should be arrested. Vidja has appealed that Arya must be investigated again in the matter and Vidja's advocate Anandan has said that Vidja had spoken with Arya through a video call during which Arya had shown her his house. He added that Vidja has written to the WhatsApp company and asked for the video calls records between her and Arya to prove that Arya had spoken with her.
As Vidja is expediting the case, her counsel has said that the complaint against Arya was filed earlier this year and if the actor wasn't involved in the case, why hasn't he fought against the complaint. The German doctor has thrown weight to her complaint against Arya by claiming that the arrested duo - Mohammed Arman and Mohammed Husaini were Arya's managers and that Arya has asked her to deposit money in their bank accounts instead of his bank account. Her statement has become a big twist in the matter and that Arya wasn't fully freed.
As the case is troubling the actor, Arya has arrived at the Chennai Police Commissioner's Office on Thursday noon along with his advocate and given his statement to the commissioner amid the matter getting resurrected. He also had extended his gratitude to the commissioner for arresting the real culprits. While Vidja has been demanding reinvestigation against Arya, the Chennai Police Commissioner has on Saturday, two days after Arya has met him, said that there has been no evidence against Arya to prove his involvement in the case and that the actor had come to express his gratitude for arresting the culprits.
