After the heart, tongue and liver were found during the vehicle inspection, the police arrested the gang that cheated a Madurai native of Rs 2.5 lakh through black magic. In connection with the incident, the Tamil Nadu Theni Uttampalayam police arrested James (55), Baba Fakhrudeen (38) and Pandi (30) from Uttampalayam.
The organs of heart, liver and tongue were found during the vehicle inspection conducted by Uttamapalayat last Friday morning. During the subsequent investigation, Alex Pandian, David Pratap Singh and Murugan, natives of Tamil Nadu, were caught in the vehicle.
After interrogating them, the police found out that a man named James Swamy made them believe that it was a human organ brought to Kerala after witchcraft and that if it is kept in the house, wealth will increase. It was also learned that they got it at Vandiperiyar. The police found that Chellappan, a resident of Parumala in Pathanamthitta, put it in a box and gave it to them. The forensic examination conducted later revealed that the organs belonged to a goat.
According to the police, James Swamy, who practices witchcraft in Tamil Nadu, is the head of the scam. He would make those who come for the spell believe that he is casting spells using human organs and that he is getting them from Kerala. He asks to see his lawyer friend to get this.
Lawyer Parumala will introduce Chellappan, a native of Nakada, as a witch. Meanwhile, James Swamy gets the tongue, liver and heart of the animals from the butcher shop and gives it to Chellappan after putting it in spirit. Chellappan buys lakhs from the parties and gives them to the needy. But Chellappan himself will secretly give the police the information that they are going with the goods. They will be caught during the vehicle inspection. Those who bought organs in this way are arrested by the police so that they are not approached again under the name of witchcraft. This money will be distributed.
In connection with this, Chellappan received half a lakh rupees from the amount received by them the other day. Mannar and Pandalam police stations had a case against Chellappan who was an accused in the counterfeiting case. In 2005, Chellappan was arrested by the police in connection with this.
