The Rajajinagar police arrested four persons including the producer of a Kannada movie on the charges of cheating a city-based businessman promising sites at a cheaper rate.
The accused have been identified as Manjunath, Shiva Kumar, Gopal, and Chandrashekhar. According to the police, Manjunath invested huge amount of money on a newly-released movie and incurred huge losses.
