R Shivakumar, son of Saravana Bhavan proprietor Rajagopal, was arrested by the Crime Branch in Chennai on Saturday for his alleged involvement in human trafficking to the United States.

The US Consulate officials said Shivakumar was trying to get visas for his employees with fake documents.

Saravana Bhavan has around 50 restaurants in Indian and many in abroad including United States.

His father Rajagopal was convicted and sentenced to ten years in jail for another case in 2001.
