Kattukaran with his assistants were found involved in 12 money-transferring cases. The Head cashier of SBM Parashivamurthy was also involved with him. They had transferred some amount of Rs.1.51 crore old, demonetized currencies into new currency notes.
The Times of India released the news that Michael Kattukaran was to the ‘currency chest’ at Kollegal to dispatch new currency notes after the demonetization announcement occurred. In the meantime, he made a union with Parashivamurthy and others and converted currency notes of 13 clients with a commission of 30%.

So, this is the situation of the country, where the ‘law-maker’ himself is corrupted. How can the people of this country rely on them?
This was one of the significant incidents, which was being traced by the CBI. But, there are so many cases in India like this happening beyond the vigilance of CBI. These people are actually destroying the economy of India – the central government is unable to control these corruptions. All the sufferings have been written into the fate-line of common people.
