issue legal notice to the cillecting and accepting bank and file a criminal case against both the bank managers and person who has withdrawn the amount illegally,
It is the duty of the accepting bank to verify wehn the altered cheque is presented for the encashment whether signature of the person is there or not where the alteration is made on the cheque and it is also necessary to collect the necessary documents from the person who has opened the account. I think both the banker and person colluded each other and illegally opened an account to gulp the amount.

Mr Rajeev S Vadrali is absolutely right. Along with criminal case you can also file a suit for recovery of your money with interest.
