The accused, identified as Maharajan, is the alleged kingpin of the illegal money lending and extortion ring, which is being operated using multiple shell concerns and recovery agents.
It has been learnt that by running the lending and extortion business, Maharajan has gone on to earn proceeds of crime worth hundreds of crore.
