The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBl) has arrested
Manuneethl Cholan, the registrar ofcompanies (RoC) here for
allegedly taking a bribe of UO laich from MA M Ramaswamy,

Chettinad Group and its managing director and
group head, MA MR Muthiah, went unanswered.
According to local media reports, Ramaswamy had filed a
complaint against a "family member", saying his life was in
danger. This couldn't be independently verified.
