TN police form teams to nab ‘helicopter brothers’ in financial fraud case

Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur police has formed multiple teams to search for ‘helicopter brothers’, Mariyur Ramadoss Ganesh and Mariyur Ramadoss Swaminathan, who have been absconding for a week since cases were filed against them for financial fraud.

The siblings came to be called helicopter brothers after Ramadoss Ganesh celebrated his son’s first birthday by hiring a chopper and showering rose petals on the child in 2019. “They became famous for often renting helicopters and flying over the town,” said a Thanjavur police inspector.

The brothers established three companies — Victory Finance, Krish Dairy Farms, and Arjun Aviation.
