ACCOUNT PAYEE CRIME 

TRADER’S CHEQUE LEAF STOLEN, DEBITED WITH FORGED SIGNATURE 

 While there are people who utilize their mental capacity in positive developments there are people who utilize the same capacity into negative activities thereby causing unrest in the society. People in spite of so much care and awareness tend to be duped by the scrupulous fraudsters, who are found all around in the society. 

 One such is the case of Mr. Juzer Mohammed Husain who runs an automobile shop in J.P.Nagar 5th Phase. Juzer has a personal NRE Savings Bank account with the Byrasandra branch of Bank of Baroda. On 18th December, 2010, he visited his Bank to update the entries in his pass book. He was shocked to see a debit of Rs. 2,50,000/- (Rs. Two Lakhs Fifty Thousand only) against a cheque number 546414 dated 29th November 2010. 

 Upon verification he realized that 3 cheque leaves numbering 546412, 546413 & 546414 were missing from his cheque book which he used to keep in his shop. He immediately informed his branch for Stop Payment of the other two missing cheques and requested for the details of one missing cheque that was already debited. He was informed by the Bank that the cheque number 546414 was dated 29th November 2010 and was presented by Bhuwaneshwari with his forged signature for Rs. 2,50,000/- and the same was debited successfully from his account on 1st December 2010. This particular cheque was deposited from the Jayanagar branch of Federal Bank and the amount was credited in the account number 13870100059857. 

Interestingly, in spite of it being an account payee cheque, the cheque leaf contained a mobile number 9739664458 written overleaf. 

 Helpless Juzer then approached J.P.Nagar Police station to file a complaint. After few days they registered his complaint and issued him a copy. 

 TBMR contacted Mr. S.K. Umesh, the Circle Inspector of J.P.Nagar Police Station. Mr. S.K. Umesh has assured of taking up the case and will investigate the matter.
