Cops launch hunt for absconding financier Anbu Chezhiyan

Cops have launched a hunt for Madurai-based film financier Anbu Chezhiyan, who is alleged to have lead film producer Ashok Kumar, a relative of director-actor Sasikumar to commit suicide. It is alleged that Anbu Chezhiyan started harassing the director and extorted him financially. The director left behind a suicide note in which he blamed the financier of increasingly pressurising him in the last six months and went to the extent of saying that the director's family members will be harmed, reports say. Deputy CM O Panneerselvam and fisheries minister D Jayakumar have promised necessary action on the issue.
