CHENNAI: Alleged fraudster Michael Soosai, the Malaysian fugitive who went into hiding in India about 10 years ago before his capture last month by Tamil Nadu police, will be charged here next week for the murder of a compatriot.
Soosai, 47, will face a charge of killing lorry driver N Subramaniam in Cheyyur, near Kanchipuram district in Tamil Nadu in 2004.
The killing was triggered by a family matrimonial altercation.
"All the court processes are going on, Soosai will be charged in a week's time," Assistant Commissioner of Coimbatore police M Selvarajan told Bernama today.
It is learnt the police have initiated further investigations on the alleged criminal activities of Soosai who was captured in a hotel in Chennai early last month, along with his wife, Rajeswari.
When police raided his house in the state of Andhra Pradesh recently – from where he was said to have conducted cross-border scams – investigators unearthed more falsified documents.
"We found three birth certificates belonging to his children, all falsely created. These documents were from the Hyderabad Municipal Authority but upon checking, they turned out to be false.
"His (Soosai's) name on the birth certificates was Rajasingam. Now, we are also checking his account with an Indian bank here," said Selvarajan.
According to Coimbatore police, Soosai hired an Indian lawyer and sought for bail which was denied by the court.
"We totally opposed bail, we have six cases against him, namely five for cheating and one for murder," said Selvarajan.
Soosai and Rajeswari are in jail in Coimbatore.
The former fugitive is wanted in Malaysia for at least 20 fraud cases, mostly involving false cheques, amounting to about RM1 million, and was also alleged to have faked his own death in Malaysia, about 10 years ago.
