KOLKATA: The Kolkata Police on Monday arrested a book supplier in connection with a Rs 2 crore cheating case involving the procurement of religious books for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) about six years ago, officials confirmed.
A local court here on Sunday remanded him in nine-day police custody till November 18.
Police sources stated that the accused, identified as Devraj Bhattacharya, allegedly embezzled a substantial amount by delivering fewer books than officially ordered by ISKCON Kolkata and simultaneously submitting fabricated bills for payment.
