Udupi: A complaint has been filed alleging that a member of the cooperative society defrauded Rs 20.62 lakhs by depositing counterfeit gold for borrowing money.

According to the complaint filed by Jalendra Kotian, the secretary of the Adarsh Grahakara Saharaki Sangha at the Udupi City police station, a member of the society identified as Muhammed Riaz had taken loans by depositing fake gold as collateral.
