This query is : Resolved
NEED YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND STAND TO FIGHT WITH THE BANK OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHO DENIED AND TOLD US TO CLAIM IT FROM THE BANK AND NOT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
I NEED MY HARD EARNED MONEY BY YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT AS VAKOLA POLICE IS ALSO SLEEPING IN THIS CASE.(WHERE THE UNKNOWN PERSON HAS ALREADY CHEATED SEVERAL BEFORE WITH THE SAME TRICK AT DIFFERENT BANKS AND STILL IS FREE TO CHEAT OTHERS)
I would like to bring to your notice the following incident of fraud which took place at your Santacruz east branch where we were the victims of the fraud.
The incident is as follows:-
This is to inform you that on 31/12/2011 at 12:00 am my office person Shankar Savant Had gone to H.F.D.C Bank at santacruz.east to deposit cash of Rs:-1,75,000/- in our bank accounts Account No: - xxxxxxxxxxxx Rs:-1,00,000/-( 1000 x 100 ) and Account No: - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rs:- 75,000/- ( 500 x 150 ) ,where an unknown person called shankar on the mezzanine floor of the bank and asked him he is from Pravin Kumar & Sons and handed him an 1 lac bearer cheque and told he has to pay him more in cash and should collect the same from the above floor of the building ,he took him outside but as the banking hours were about to close for the day he returned backed in the bank and waited in the queue to deposit the cash when his number was nearby Shankar removed the cash from the bag and suddenly the unknown person grabbed it from his hand before Shankar could raise alarm unknown person handed cash to the cashier of the bank, and Shankar requested to do the transaction and the unknown person said by the time they would return back in few time, mean while the unknown person took Shankar in the above floor of the building and told to collect the cash from the apartment hence Shankar went with the lift man to the upper floor but no one was there in the house and he returned back to the bank for transaction slip but the cashier replied that the person took the cash back demanding to change the denomination of 500 to 1000 notes, hence she returned it to the man, surprisingly Shankar said who was he never knew and how did she returned the cash to the unknown person. Urgently he called the owner and explained the matter who immediately visited the branch and then lodged the complaint ( F.I.R ) at the vakola police station about the incident .Police authorities visited the place, witnessed the incident & F.I.R was carries out. The Theft loss is Rs:-1,75,000/-.
What is shocking is that the incident took place within the bank premises, what i even more shocking is that indifference attitude of the branch manager towards the whole incident and the way he handled the situation, we have lodged a complaint FIR with the vakola police station
The bank is not willing to accept the lapse of security measures within the bank premises.
I kindly urge you to all to please guide in this situtation to take firm action.
Thanking you,
Your faithfully,
For:- Pravin Kumar & Sons

Dear Paresh,
You have written the first story on behalf of some other person, Shri Praveen Kumar.
Secondly, yours or Mr. Praveen's representative, Shankar Savant, proved to be careless in handling the bank transaction and acting as a puppet of the cheater going to the other floor by leaving cash in the custody of the cheater.
Thirdly, If the incident took place in the premises of the bank, your man could also raise alarm and call the security man of the bank. So, did he do that?
Fourthly, the police can act on some valid proof against the cheater or whenever he is caught red-handed in near future.
So, to help yourself, better depute the said Shankar Savant along with some intelligent person to keep track of the said cheater, keep an eye on his activities and whenever the person gets involved in such type of activity with some other customer, he should call the police control room at 100 immediately.

good day MR.Ps.Dhingra.
Thank you for the suggestion,but
I have not written any story it is an incident and would even request you to please go thoroughly to the incident there is no shri praveen kumar it is my company name pravin kumar and sons.
secondly mr shankar had never handed the cash to the cheater but the cheater took it from his hand and immediately handed it to the cashier and shankar requested to the cashier to do the transaction.
thirdly before he could raise alarm the cash was accepted at the counter by the cashier.
fourthly as we traced the cheque details we found out the account holder informed us that the cheater was once caught but the police never went to the account holder for his statement nor did they called him
please rectify me if i m wrong and if possible do guide me.

Dear Paresh,
I have already guided you as per the last paragraph of my earlier post that contains a suggestion, which you seem not to have read properly.
Also in my previous post, I don't think I have stated anywhere that Mr. Shankar handed over cash to the cheater.
In the present post, you have stated that before he could raise alarm the cash was accepted at the counter by the cashier, but your previous post clearly indicate that your man Shankar just acted like a puppet of the cheat and instead of taking care of cash in his custody, he just followed him wherever he desired to take him, as you stated "mean while the unknown person took Shankar in the above floor of the building and told to collect the cash from the apartment hence Shankar went with the lift man to the upper floor"
You have also not stated what reason the police has advanced if no action was taken against the account holder, if his check has been used? Are you sure that the account holderm whose cheque has been used, is the cheater?
Now my advice is, take the help of some local lawyer to deal with the police in appropriate manner, if you feel the police has not taken any action against the cheat.
