Anticipatory bail granted for actor Krishnakumar, daughter
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP leader and actor Krishnakumar and his daughter Diya Krishna were granted anticipatory bail by Thiruvananthapuram principal sessions court in connection with a case for abduction that was filed by three former employees of a shop owned by Diya. The complaint of abduction was filed by Vinitha, Divya and Radhakumari, who were former employees of 'Oh by Ozy', a store owned by Diya. The police had filed a report with the court which said they could not find any evidence to substantiate the allegation of abduction. The CCTV visuals reportedly show the women leaving Diya's flat in two separate cars, weakening their claim. Meanwhile, the court turned down the anticipatory bail plea of the three women staff in the case pertaining to alleged financial fraud. Diya had complained that the women swindled Rs 69 lakh from the shop using their QR code instead of the one provided by the owners. The police informed the court that the investigation is yet to be completed and if anticipatory bail plea was granted, it would affect further investigation.

QR code fraud: Jewellery business of BJP leader's daughter in the spotlight
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A dispute involving BJP leader G Krishnakumar's family and employees of his daughter Diya's jewellery store, 'Oh by Ozy' in Kowdiar, has sparked parallel police investigations following serious allegations from both sides. The matter surfaced after both parties lodged complaints on June 3, accusing each other of offences ranging from financial fraud to wrongful confinement and extortion. The Museum police registered a case against Krishnakumar and his family based on a complaint by three women employees, who alleged they were abducted, threatened, and coerced into confessing to embezzling company funds. They claimed they were summoned to Krishnakumar's office, had their phones taken away, and were forced to admit to manipulating QR code payments. These allegations followed Krishnakumar's earlier complaint that the same employees had diverted Rs 69 lakh from Diya's store by routing customer payments to their personal accounts using personal QR codes. Based on his complaint, the police also filed a case and began collecting evidence, including bank records and digital transaction histories.
