Chit cheat govt teacher defrauds people of crores of rupees

Suryapet: Victims of an alleged chit fund fraud have lodged complaints with the Suryapet district Superintendent of Police and Chivvemla police, accusing a government teacher of cheating them of crores of rupees.

The teacher named Raju, a resident of Lakshminayak Thanda in Chivvemla mandal of Suryapet district, had reportedly been absconding after allegedly collecting around Rs 10 crore from several people through chit schemes.

The accused is said to be working as a teacher at a government school in Shettigudem under Atmakur (S) mandal.

The victims have urged the police to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the alleged fraud and take steps to recover their money. Further details, including the whereabouts of the teacher and the extent of the alleged financial transactions, are expected to emerge after the police investigation.
