The arrested accused are reportedly among those four Chennai-based associates of Chandrasekhar and his actor wife Leena Maria Paul. They were arrested by Delhi Police last month. The Delhi Police has so far arrested 13 people in connection with the case. The four held by Delhi Police were identified as Kamlesh Kothari, Joel Jose Matthews, Arun Muthu and B Mohan Raj.
Kothari is a real estate agent who helped the couple buy a bungalow in Chennai while Matthews is Paul's manager. Muthu helped the couple buy luxury cars. Raj is a lawyer by profession and has been representing Chandrashekhar in his cases for a long time, said a senior police officer in the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), which is probing the cheating and extortion case.
Police recently also invoked stringent provisions of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against Chandrashekhar and the others.
