THRISSUR: Crores were spent by top police officials in the money lending deals of P Satishkumar, the middleman arrested by the ED in the Karuvannur loan scam. It is also alleged that the bribe money was given to be lent out as loans. When the money paid on interest was not received, he used to use police officers and goons to threaten and confiscate the property. Several deeds were recovered from Satish Kumar's house during the ED raid. Senior police officers and retired people who worked in Palakkad and Thrissur districts are among those who gave money. It is reported that the police officer who was CI in Thrissur and DySP in Shornur and later SP did not get back the 3.5 crores he handed over to Satish.
