MIC man denies conning shrink x

R Ramanan rubbishes a report claiming that he cheated psychiatrist Dr Mahadevan of RM5.5 million over a land dispute with the Defence Ministry.

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth leader R Ramanan has denied cheating psychiatrist Dr M Mahadevan of RM5.5 million with regard to a land dispute between the latter and the Defence Ministry.

Responding to a FMT report, Ramanan said there were no dealings between him and the ministry.

“I have all the documents to prove that the statement made in the article is untrue and merely an attempt to tarnish my image and reputation,” he said.

Last week, V Ragunathan, a former close friend of Ramanan, filed a police report against the latter for fraud, accusing him of cheating the psychiatrist.

According to Ragunathan, he had received documentary evidence on April 10 regarding the MIC Youth leader’s involvement in the matter.

He claimed that Ramanan squandered the money after promising to settle the land dispute.

Ramanan, who conceded that there were several issues between him and Mahadevan, however stressed that the matters were purely business related.

“There is nothing political to it. I believe this is being done to divert attention from the ‘Zuna Nite’ accounts issue,” he said.

The Bandar Syed Putra MIC Youth chief said he believes that national MIC Youth chief T Mohan was behind the police report against him.

“I once again challenge him to take me to court. Four months have passed, but he has still failed to show the accounts for the ‘Zuna Nite’.

“I have every right to question the matter because I too donated a large sum of money for the charity dinner event,” he added.

Previously, Ramanan claimed that RM100,000 had gone missing from the account, but this was denied by MIC Youth treasurer J Dhinagaran.
