The Economic Offences Wing of the Tamil Nadu Police has arrested Ravi Parthasarathy, 69, former chairman of the IL&FS Group in connection with alleged cheating of a Chennai-based private limited company of ₹200 crore through IL&FS Transportation Networks India Ltd (ITNL), Mumbai.

Ravi Parthasarathy was arrested in Mumbai and brought to Chennai on Thursday. He was produced before the Special Court for cases under the TNPID Act and remanded to judicial custody for 15 days.
