In 2023, Ravindar Chandrasekaran was arrested on September 7 by the Entrustment Document Fraud (EDF) Wing-I of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) for allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs 15.83 crores.
According to a report in The Hindu, the police said Balaji Kapa, of Madav Media Pvt. Ltd., registered a complaint at the Greater Chennai Police Commissioner stating that in October 2020, Ravindhar Chandrasekaran approached him with a proposal for a new business.
They entered into an investment agreement on September 17, 2020, and he paid ₹15.83 crore to Fatman. However, in Mr Kapa's complaint, he mentioned that after receiving the amount, Ravindhar neither started the energy business nor returned the money.
