Roji Augustine, the first accused in an alleged cheating case connected with the Muttil tree-felling case, surrendered before the Chottanikkara Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Ernakulam, Kerala, on Thursday (August 13, 2026).

Jose Kutty Augustine and Anto Augustine, the second and the third accused in the case, had surrendered on Tuesday (August 11, 2026), a day after the court issued a non-bailable warrant against the brothers. Warrants against all three accused now stand recalled. They have been ordered to appear before the court on August 18 for framing the charges in the cheating case.
