Suriya’s Security Officer Cheated Of ₹42 Lakh By Actor’s Domestic Help & Her Son, Four Arrested In Chennai
**Tamil Actor Suriya’s Personal Security Officer Duped of Rs 42 Lakh by Actor’s Domestic Help and Family**
The personal security officer (PSO) of Tamil actor Suriya was allegedly duped of Rs 42 lakh by the actor’s domestic help and her family. According to police reports, the accused have also cheated multiple victims across Chennai, swindling nearly Rs 2 crore in total.
As per a report by India Today, the officer, Anthony George Prabhu, was reportedly lured into an investment scheme by Sulochana, a domestic worker at Suriya’s residence, along with her son. To gain his confidence, they initially returned 30 grams of gold in exchange for an investment of Rs 1 lakh. Convinced by this gesture, Prabhu transferred around Rs 42 lakh between January and February this year.
However, when he started requesting his money back in March, the accused stopped responding and went into hiding. Further investigations revealed that the family had used similar tactics to target several others, duping them of substantial sums.
A complaint was filed in July, following which the police registered an FIR and launched a search operation. Four members of the family—Balaji, Bhaskar, Sulochana, and Vijayalakshmi—were tracked down and arrested. They are currently in judicial custody.
Following the incident, Suriya immediately terminated the services of the domestic help once the matter came to light. While the star has maintained silence over the case, the arrests have brought some relief to the victims.
The police are continuing their probe to identify other potential victims of the fraudulent scheme.
**Suriya’s Upcoming Projects**
On the work front, Suriya was last seen in the film *Retro*, starring alongside Pooja Hegde, Joju George, Nassar, Jayaram, and others. He also has films like *Karuppu* and *Suriya 46* in the pipeline.
