:Two Armed Reserve constables were arrested here today for allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs five lakh by promising him to get new notes for demonetised currency.
Police said the businessman had given the constables Rs five lakh worth of old demonetised notes after they helped him change Rs one lakh of demonetised notes earlier.
When nothing transpired, he filed a complaint with city police commissioner Tirugnanam, who ordered that a case be registered against the two constables, police said.
The constables would be suspended shortly after a formal enquiry, they said.
