He was arrested at a hotel in Ajman on Tuesday and is expected to be released today or early tomorrow, confirmed a local source associated with India's right-wing party. He said, "It has nothing to do with politics. It was a purely business-related matter and a very old case. The case will be cleared in a day or two."
He was arrested at the hotel where he was invited to discuss matters in connection with the case.
The source added, "It is said the he had issued a cheque of Dh10 million ten years ago to a construction firm that had bounced.
Vellappally Natesan, father of Thushar Vellappally and Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) General Secretary said that his son was trapped under the pretext of negotiation. "We'll face this issue legally," Natesan was quoted by Manorama News as saying.
