Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 23: The Crime Branch has summoned a Delhi-based Company for its role to siphon off nearly Rs 1 crore from JK Cements Limited under forged signatures.
The CB had initiated an enquiry after receiving a formal complaint from the Managing Director Jammu and Kashmir Cements Limited that an attempt has been done to siphon nearly Rs 1 Crore bank guarantee money from Bank of India New Delhi under forged signatures.
"We have received complaint from JK Cements Managing Director regarding the attempt to siphon bank guarantee money under forged signatures. Since then investigation is on and in this regard we have summoned one of the owners of the Ashoka Gear, Gaurav Khanna for questioning," SSP Crime Jammu Mubassir Latifi told Early Times over phone.
He said that during the initial investigation we found that the money has not been withdrawn from the bank but the attempt under forged signature was done which is a crime and needs to be investigated. "I can assure you that whosoever is found involved in this crime will be booked under the law," he said.
He said that after questioning the company it accepted that they have lodged an FIR with Delhi police against its one of the employees who has forged the signatures but in order to ascertain the actual facts we have summoned its one of the owner and have also asked Delhi police to provide us with all the records of the case.
Official sources told Early Times that a draft carrying forged signatures of Financial Advisor JK Cements Limited was submitted to the Bank of India New Delhi for release of bank guarantee amount to the New Delhi-based company M/s Ashoka Gear.
Before releasing the amount, the Bank asked the JK Cements' Financial Advisor whether the official had issued any such draft in favour of the Delhi company. "The Financial Advisor expressed her ignorance about any such draft and asked the Bank to stop the payment immediately," sources said.
Financial Advisor JK Cements Ltd had told Early Times that he brought the fraud into the notice of Managing Director, following which he immediately forwarded the complaint to the Crime Branch.
"The Crime Branch should probe the matter thoroughly. How could someone go to the extend forging somebody's signature. It is a matter of serious concern," she had said. |
