The others were identified as Muthuvel ,45, of Kappalur, Salamatullah Naynar, 43, Sudalaikannan ,34, Sivaraja ,38, and Karthigaipandian ,27, all from Thirumangalam, Madurai.

They were used for various purposes by the “beneficiaries” like procuring driving licences, insurance policies and securing jobs. The police said they are on the hunt for more suspects believed to have gone underground.

The police added that they are preparing a list of the “beneficiaries” for action. They said it’s too early to say if the tentacles of the gang had spread to other parts of Tamil Nadu.
