4. The learned Public Prosecutor has produced the report of the Sub Inspector of Police, Kunnamkulam Police Station in the matter, which shows that a crime has been registered as Crime No.2465/2014 of Kunnamkulam Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 417, 420, 109 and 120B read with Section 34 IPC and Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Kerala Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978. It has been reported that the petitioner is the Manager of the chitty company and he was not directly involved in any of the money transactions and that he was acting only under the directions of the Directors of the chitty company.
