Visakhapatnam: A whistleblower Dr. Ashok Kumar has filed a complaint with Visakhapatnam III Town police station against Rayavalasi Tirumala Rao, working as manager of the Visakhapatnam Cooperative Bank in Dwarkanagar.
In his complaint, Dr. Ashok Kumar alleged that Tirumala Rao, along with a person named Korla Krishna, who claims himself as the owner of KK BK Enterprises, is cheating many people in north Andhra.
The modus operandi of the bank manager is to convince bank customers that Korla Krishna has deposits worth ₹60 crore in the Visakhapatnam Cooperative Bank. He has convinced 40 people that they can get loans at half-a-rupee interest from Korla Krishna. Thereby, Tirumala Rao has collected lakhs of rupees from people in terms of franking charges and making false agreements.
On Dr. Ashok Kumar’s complaint III Town police have registered an FIR (335/2023). He wants the government to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter on behalf of the victims and refund them their money.
The whistleblower said there is another person Ramesh Kesineni (Naveen) in Nuziveedu, who has opened an office near Satyanarayana theatre and is cheating money from people for developing a village named Kurazada near Meliaputti in Srikakulam. Ramesh is deceiving people by taking loans without spending a single rupee on the village. He is also an accused in the Gurupeetham land scam.
Dr. Ashok Kumar has warned there are many such individuals who are trying to cheat money from people of north Andhra.
