Their photos with Monson go viral
Several politicians and top police officers were reportedly left red-faced after photographs and videos showing them in the company of alleged fake antique dealer and “debt-dodging confidence trickster” Monson Mavunkal went viral on mainstream and social media on Monday.
Monson had fallen into the police dragnet on Sunday on the charge of palming off recently handcrafted cheap knock-offs as authentic relics to wealthy, uninformed and eager collectors.
The suspect’s social media account showed him in the company of an astonishing number of rich, famous and influential people, including Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran, MP, actors and the police top brass.
